Supporters of radical cleric 'win province'

Followers of radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr are poised to win
control of a province in Iraq, according to predicted election results.
Candidates supporting the cleric - whose militia fought against British
troops - appear set to win Maysan province in Shia-dominated south-east
Iraq. They are also expected to do well in nearby provinces, including
Basra. A senior British officer in Basra said: "We have to live with
it."
Last year coalition forces fought Moqtada's Mahdi Army when it staged a
revolt and tried to take over the Imam Ali shrine in the holy city of
Najaf. In August British troops seized the head offices of his movement
in Basra.
He did not stand in the election, but he ran a list of individual
supporters.
First results of provincial council elections are expected today. The
national assembly result is expected to be declared next Thursday, the
Muslim New Year.
