Shiite Muslims, supporters of the Suprem
NAJAF, IRAQ: Shiite Muslims, supporters of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) party led by Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, demonstrate in support of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani (picture R), the most prominent and powerful figure in Iraq's Shiite religious authority, or marjayia, in the holy city of Najaf 09 May 2004. Clerics close to his office say Sistani is "upset" about the presence of militiamen around holy shrines in Najaf and Karbala but fears that any public opposition to Sadr's men might provoke faction-fighting among Shiites. But another Sistani follower and the Najaf leader of SCIRI urged militiamen to leave the holy city. Picture (L) shows from L to R, Sistani, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim and the former head of SCIRI Mohammed Baqr al-Hakim who was assassinated last August.
