Sistani calls for end to Najaf clash amid Sadr uprising
Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani urged all armed forces to withdraw from Najaf and asked Shiites not to join a revolt against U.S. forces. The appeal, not a fatwa, seeks to curb Muqtada al Sadr’s Mahdi Army as U.S. forces face a powerful Shiite faction ahead of a June 30 handover.

He concedes miscalculations about Iraqi tolerance, noting plans assumed longer occupation and more stable security than experienced. The move comes before the June 30 power transfer amid scrutiny over Abu Ghraib and the Iraqi National Congress funding termination.
