Sunni bloc in Parliament to end boycott

The largest Sunni bloc in parliament will end its legislative boycott following a call for calm and unity by radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, the head of the bloc said Tuesday.

"We have decided to attend the meetings as of tomorrow in response to the call by Muqtada al-Sadr," Adnan al-Dulaimi, whose bloc holds 44 seats, told The Associated Press.

Al-Sadr has called for unity amid rising sectarian tension here.

2. Sadr is a hope for Iraq.

That is telling, if he is the best hope right now. But that is the case.
