Iraq: Moqtada al-Sadr supporters invade the government palace and swim in the pool Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Monday announced he was withdrawing from Iraqi politics in a Twitter post. Almost immediately after, hundreds of his supporters swarmed the government palace in Baghdad in the heart of the heavily secured Green Zone. After the crowd was cleared from the perimeter, a curfew was imposed at 2:30pm local time, which the army lifted the following day.
