Faleh Hasan Shanshal, a senior official in Moqtada al-Sadr's movement, speaks in front of a poster of the late Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr during a news conference in Baghdad's Sadr City November 24, 2006. Radical anti-U.S. Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's political bloc, a key player in Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government, threatened on Friday to withdraw from the cabinet and parliament if Maliki met U.S. President George W. Bush as planned in Jordan next week.
