Moqtada <q>Tater</q> al-Sadr

...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...
, called today for separating al-Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) from the "armed factions".

Eh? I thought all they were is an amalgamation of armed faction on the Iranian payroll.

Al-Sadr said, according to a figure close to him known as "the leader's assistant", that it has become necessary to organize al-Hashd and its leadership, separate it from the armed factions, and fire those who damage the fighters' reputation, to maintain the security and stability of the country.

"It is unacceptable to associate al-Hashd's name with politics, trade, conflicts, or political differences", he concluded.
