...smaller players at the radical end of the Shi'ite political spectrum, the key radical leader is Moqtada Sadr, whose support base in the Shi'ite urban slums has been organized in the Mehdi militia, which has been skirmishing with Coalition troops since the U.S. first tried to arrest Sadr in April on murder charges. While Moqtada lacks the clerical status to compete with Sistani in the religious sphere, he is first and foremost a politician - while purporting to accept Sistani's leadership in the spiritual sphere, Moqtada is plainly competing with the political parties (SCIRI and Dawa) closest...
...some point, either we or the interim government was going to have to face the issue that you had a political figure who was wanted for murder. People forget that this was an Iraqi court investigation led by Iraqis; it was an Iraqi investigating judge who requested the arrest warrant; it was an Iraqi judge who gave the arrest warrant.

Western diplomats and other analysts say Lukovic may have been motivated to carry out the assassination to prevent his arrest on war crimes and drugs charges, but concede that his evidence is likely to raise new obstacles to the prosecution. The biggest beneficiary could be the Serbian Radical Party, whose leader, Vojislav Seselj, is now facing war-crimes charges in the Hague. Even if the Radicals fail to win the presidency...
...security official described last week's extradition of Algerian Saïd Arif from Syria. French authorities tell TIME they believe Arif, 38, was an important member of al-Qaeda's European operation. The former Algerian army lieutenant "is a survivor of uprooted al-Qaeda networks in Europe. His arrest and extradition from Syria is a very big blow to jihadists," says one French counterterrorism official. The French say Arif, a veteran of Afghan and Chechen camps, is implicated in a foiled December 2000 plot to bomb the Christmas market outside Strasbourg Cathedral. Arif's alleged role involved recruiting, organizing...
