Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP Ahmed al-Masari, of the Iraqiya Slate announced “The Parliamentary Ahrar Bloc informed the IS that the telephone talks conducted between the Leader of Sadr Trend, Muqtada al-Sadr, and the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki did not tackle any political issues.” Masari said “After the phone call, we phoned the Political Bureau of the Sadr Trend and Ahrar Bloc in order to know the nature of these discussions, where they assured us that the talks did not tackle any political topics and it was just a compliment from Maliki to condole Sadr over Wednesday bombings.” “All sides in Sadr Trend stressed that Sadr is still adherent to his attitude concerning withdrawing confidence from Maliki and he will not be subject to any external pressures in this regard, since he aims to reform the political process rather than anything else,” he concluded.
