The task of political reconciliation in Iraq may have just received a significant boost. This from the MEMRI blog (via Dr. Sanity)
Shi'ite cleric and leader Muqtada Al-Sadr was secretly transferred a few days ago from Iraq to Iran for hospitalization as he was comatose.It was reported that his illness resulted from food poisoning.
Al-Sadr is being treated by Iranian specialists, as well as by Russian doctors brought in to help the Iranian medical staff treat him.

I guess it makes sense that Russian doctors know a few things about food poisoning.
