BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi envoy appointed by Moqtada al-Sadr said on Wednesday the Shi'ite cleric had asked him to convey a set of peace proposals to U.S. officials.
Sadr's supporters have been rising up against the U.S.-led occupying forces in south and central Iraq.

The United States has said it will kill or capture Sadr and destroy his militia, and has brought extra troops to the outskirts of Najaf, where the radical cleric is thought to be.

"Sayyed Moqtada made positive proposals to end the crisis. I cannot disclose the details. He realizes that an armed confrontation is not in anybody's interest," Abdelkarim al-Anzi told Reuters in Baghdad.
