Iraq's Sadr demands reforms for support of PM

None

Cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, head of a powerful Shi'ite movement in Iraq, on Sunday called for more political reforms and said he would back a no-confidence vote against the prime minister if these were not made.

 

Sadr, a Shi'ite cleric who led uprisings against the US presence before American forces withdrew last December, is now an influential player in government after his bloc's support of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki helped secure his position. (Reuters)
