Confident of Iraq PM disavows warrant

[ECH1969]

Top leaders in Iraq ‘s Shiite-dominated government fell into deeper disarray on Friday, with an official close to the prime minister disavowing an arrest warrant issued against the country‘s most influential Sunni leader.

"We will work so that the arrest warrant is not acted upon," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the internal Shiite conflict.

The brewing political crisis threatened the already shaky al-Maliki government and could provoke an even more violent surge in Iraq‘s sectarian conflict as the country teeters on the edge of civil war. snip.

Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh said the Cabinet and the president‘s office had no knowledge about the arrest warrant. He called for an urgent meeting of political leaders to review the government‘s work.
