Sistani rejects US call for Sadr isolation

Iraq’s leading Shiite Muslim cleric — Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani — has rejected a US-backed plan to form a political bloc to isolate the anti-occupation Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr. The plan was disclosed in a leaked White House memo last month. The proposal would have split the United Iraqi Alliance, the dominant party in Iraq’s parliament.
