Iraq's Sistani to Return to Iraq in Hours-Aide

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's most influential Shi'ite cleric is on his way home to the country from treatment in London and wants all Iraqis to march on the battle-scarred city of Najaf, a senior aide said on Wednesday.
The aide, Hamed al-Khafaf, told Reuters that Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani should arrive within hours. The aim of the march was to save the "burning city of Najaf," he said.
