Murder warrant for Iraqi cleric

An Iraqi judge has issued an arrest warrant for a radical Shi'ite Muslim cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, for the murder of another Shi'ite leader.

Coalition spokesman Dan Senor announced the warrant in Baghdad but would not say when al-Sadr would be detained.

“There’ll be no advance warning,” he said.

Firebrand al-Sadr and his followers have taken Iraq to the edge of anarchy.
