No link yet so not in LBN... Top Sunni cleric sought

[lapfog_1]

CNN just announced that an arrest warrant has been issued by the Malaki gov for the top Sunni Cleric in Iraq.

My comment: full scale civil war is arriving any second now. The body count is going to skyrocket.

BAGHDAD, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The Iraqi government has issued an arrest warrant for the country's most prominent Sunni cleric, Harith al-Dari, state television Iraqiya said.

In a move that could inflame sectarian passions, Bolani said the head of the Muslim Clerics Association was accused of "supporting terrorism".

Shi'ite majority leaders have complained this month that Dari had appeared to justify violence by al Qaeda in televised comments in which he complained Iraq's once dominant Sunnis were being treated unfairly in the U.S.-sponsored political process
