Hezbollah in Lebanon Gets Show of Support From Key Iraqi Shiite Cleric

(BAGHDAD, Iraq) -- A radical Shiite Iraqi cleric is urging his followers to gather in Baghdad tomorrow for a rally in support of Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.

Muqtada al-Sadr, who commands a large militia, is one of the Iraq's most influential Shiite leaders. The rally is to be held in the Shiite slum of Sadr City.

Buses that left the southern city of Basra today carried young men draped in white shrouds. Those are the garments Muslims use to wrap their dead and are a symbol of the willingness of the men to die for Lebanon.
