AL-SADR NOT SUPPORTED BY OTHER SHI'A LEADERS: Al-Sistani has sought to marginalise Al-Sadr after, among other things, Al-Sadr assassinated Shi'a cleric Abd Al-Majid Al-Khoei, who was the grandson of Al-Sistani's mentor Ayatollah Abu Al-Qassem Al-Khoei. Ayatollah Al-Sistani is also reputed to be quite sore at Al-Sadr for his attempt to grab by force the revenues of Al-Hawza derived from religious pilgrims visiting Shi'a holy sites in Najaf and Karbala. This coldness is reflected in the fact that Al-Sistani has refused to grant a meeting to Al-Sadr.
