Arrest order for Iraq Shia cleric
The US-led coalition in Iraq says an arrest warrant has been issued for radical cleric Moqtada Sadr. A coalition spokesman told a news conference in Baghdad that the warrant had been issued in connection with the murder of a rival cleric last year. The statement came on the second day of violent anti-coalition protests across Iraq by Mr Sadr’s supporters. US helicopter gunships targeted militia members loyal to Mr Sadr in the mainly Shia district of al-Shuala in Baghdad.
