(AP)

11 September 2011BAGHDAD — An anti-American cleric in Iraq is calling on his followers to cease attacks on US troops leaving the country so that the withdrawal isn’t slowed down.

Muqtada Al Sadr has been demanding that all American forces leave Iraq by the end of the year as planned, or potentially face widespread violence.

Al Sadr says in a statement posted on his website late Saturday that he has ordered his militias to let the Americans leave peacefully.
