Cleric leaves mosque

KUFA (IRAQ), APRIL 6. A radical Shia cleric sought by U.S. forces today said he left the fortress-like mosque where he has been holed up for days, surrounded by armed supporters.

Muqtada Al-Sadr, in a statement released by his office, did not say where he had gone. Al-Sadr frequently denounces the U.S. occupation in his sermons and has built up his own militia, the Al-Mahdi Army, though he has avoided calling for attacks on U.S. troops.
