Americans – Sadrists reached a deal?

Rumors reported by two days ego by Elaphabout Allawi medi­a­tion between the Sadirsts and the Amer­i­cans [accord­ing to All­wai, the Sadrists asked him].Iraqi writer Zaid al-Zubaidi says on al-Akhbar that to stop bom­bard­ing of Sadr-City by the Amer­i­can occu­pa­tion forces, the Sadrists have to han­dover a list of per­sons who are coop­er­at­ing with Iran, to extend Mahdi Army freeze for at least a year and to stop the attacks on the Amer­i­can forces in exchange for not to fol­low other Sadrists lead­ers, the writer linked “other lead­ers” with the re-activation of the arrest war­rant issued for al-Sadr in 2004.

The writer also linked all the events above with the rumors of unrest among the Sadrists , ques­tion­ing their leader’s cred­i­bil­ity, com­par­ing his deeds to his words of not nego­ti­at­ing with the occu­pa­tion forces.

The writer refers to “alrafedain” post about the CIA man­aged to infil­trate the Mahdi Army, I am not sure if the report is true or not but the arrest of top MA leader today in Basra did not raised any protest by the Sadrists.

P.S.

Lebanese news­pa­per as-Safir pub­lished many reports on one topic “Muq­tada al-Sadr”, few are very good read.
