Shiite leader says he wants federal region

A leading Shiite lawmaker suggested Monday that he will pursue a federal region in southern Iraq after next month's elections, pushing forward demands for Shiite autonomy that Sunni leaders fear could tear the country apart.

"We have major missions ahead," Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, who heads the largest bloc in the interim parliament, told a gathering of tribal leaders. "The central and southern regions should be achieved after the elections" set for Dec. 15.

According to Iraq's new constitution, the country's 18 provinces — except for Baghdad — can combine to create self-ruled areas. Kurds have such a region in the north and Sunni Arabs fear that a similar Shiite-run mini-state in the south would deprive them of a share of the nation's oil wealth — concentrated in those two areas.

Sunni Arabs also fear the system would tear the country apart.

Al-Hakim also played down the discovery of an Interior Ministry detention facility last week by U.S. troops where 173 detainees, some malnourished and apparently tortured, were held.

"Loud noises are being made on purpose about the Jadriyah prison by some terrorist groups. The (interior) minister made it clear that this prison is one of several detention centers and it is not a secret location," al-Hakim said. "If there were violations we will not accept them. The investigation is going on."

Interior Minister Bayan Jabr is a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, a political party that al-Hakim heads.

Al-Hakim also stressed the importance of December's elections, which will create a permanent government for the next four years.

"We have reached the last point in the (transitional) political stations. There are three weeks and elections will be held," al-Hakim said. "This will be historic moment concerning our future which should be in safe hands."
