Shiites Hold Najaf Shrine; Clashes Flare
Really, you mean all the shiites back Al-Sadar
The violence in Najaf, which had spread to other Shiite communities, posed the greatest risk to the interim government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi. Government officials had threatened to raid the mosque to set an example to other insurgent groups, but such an operation risked turning the nation's majority Shiites against the government.
Yeah i mean Ayad Allawi would then have to turn against himself
as he is a Shiite and a member of the government
The crisis appeared on the verge of resolution Friday, when insurgents decided to remove their weapons from the shrine and said they were willing to turn the holy site over to representatives of Iraq (news - web sites)'s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani.
but wait doesn't your headline and the earlier paragraph describe them as some monolithic force?
