SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Ayatollah Al Hakim, Chairman of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq: "The resolution of the United Nations Security Council issued yesterday (actually took place on Thursday) says that these forces are an occupying force. And the US and Britain, who presented the resolution, admitted that they were occupiers. So now the authority of Iraq has been turned over to occupiers. They claim it is a temporary occupation and that afterwards they will organise and hand over power to Iraqis, but right now it is still occupation." 10. Mid shot, crowd 11.

As Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim arrived in the city, southwest of Baghdad, his motorcade was mobbed by excited crowds. Addressing muslims outside the Al Imam Al Hussein bin Ali Mosque, the cleric said Iraq would not submit itself to any despotic power - be it foreign or internal. Focusing on Fridays Security Council Resolution on Iraq, which lifted 13 13-years of United Nations-imposed sanctions, he said it was an admission from the US and Britain that they were occupying Iraq. The Iraqi Shi'ite dissident cleric was visiting the central Iraqi city for the first time since returning from Iraq after living in Iranian exile for 20 years. His home base is Najaf, also southwest of Baghdad, the holiest city for Shi'ites.
