Anti-US Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr returned to Iraq today after years of self-imposed exile in Iran, and visited the holy city of Najaf.
Mazan al-Sadi, a Sadrist cleric in Baghdad, said Sadr had come to visit his father's grave and his former house.
Sadr, whose movement battled US forces after the 2003 US-led invasion, fled Iraq some time in 2006 or 2007 after an arrest warrant was issued for him.
