"Iraq's largest Shiite group, the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, has its headquarters in Tehran, the Iranian capital. The group's leader, Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, is still in Iran. But his brother, Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, who commands the group's armed wing, has come back to Iraq to pave the way for the ayatollah's return." Iraq's largest Shiite group is led by a cleric in Iran, not one faction - the LARGEST faction- that makes the top leader of Iraq's Shi'ites an Iranian cleric, in Iran. I don't know what confuses you either. I didn't know that until you posted the article to me. It's pretty scary news, imo.
