NAJAF, Iraq, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Supporters greeted radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr as he returned Wednesday to Iraq after four years in Iran.
Sadr flew into Najaf, the holy Shiite stronghold, with a large group of bodyguards, The Washington Post reported. He had been living in Iraq since 2007 after President George W. Bush announced the surge policy.
