Anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is planning to disarm the Mahdi Army by turning the militia into a civic and social service organization, a significant strategic shift, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.


According to the report, Sadr officials say the strategic shift is partly a reaction to a timeframe for withdrawal of U.S. combat troops. The Mahdi Army has long stated that its principal goal was withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
