The call for al-Dhari's arrest came two days after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called him a hard-liner with “nothing to do but incite sectarian and ethnic sedition.”
Pajamas Media broke the story:
Arrest Warrant Issued for Hardline Iraqi Sunni Leader:
PJM Middle East editor Omar reports hot news from al-Iraqiya TV that he says is even better than the Saddam verdict…
“Finally! The interior minister Jawad al-Bolani just announced that an arrest warrant has just been issued against Harith al-Dhari, head of the association of Muslim scholars. If you’re not familiar with the name, al-Dhari and his organization are the only party that totally rejected the political process, never denounced Saddam’s regime, explicitly praised al-Qaeda and is believed to be responsible for sponsoring a great deal of the activity of terror groups and insurgents loyal to the Ba’ath regime. Al-Bolani said the decision was made according to the ‘national safety law’ and anti-terrorism legislations and described the arrest warrant as a message to all other warlords and men who incite sectarian violence…Al-Bolani acknowledged that al-Dhari is currently outside Iraq but reassured that the government has the tools to reach him and have him arrested.”
