The discovery comes after al Sadr officially handed over control of Najaf's Imam Ali shrine.
A representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al Sistani confirmed the handover as militia loyal to al Sadr handed in their weapons after a peace deal to end the crisis in Najaf.
Thousands of Iraqi Shi'ites have been marching to the shrine to show their support for Ayatollah al Sistani.
The ayatollah had returned to the southern holy city to negotiate the peace deal after medical treatment in London.
Al Sadr agreed to Ayatollah al Sistani's call for his supporters to lay down their arms.
This is all Bush's fault.
The buildings with .50 cal sized holes in the walls.

That would be an exaggeration, if sadly only a slight one. The U.S. (Coalition Provisional Authority, before the transfer of sovereignty) closed down Al Sadr's newspaper on the grounds that it repeatedly violated the single proviso place on journalistic freedom in Iraq: agitating for violence against the Coalition and/or Iraqi leaders.
In an NPR interview, Kerry claimed this was wrong because Sadr was "a legitimate voice".
We need to be single-minded in our determination to kill that foul SOB. Special Ops should be hunting him down like a dog and NEVER let up until he's dead. I don't care if the UN someday invites him onto the floor of the General Assembly (they've done crazier things), if he appears, he should be shot dead right there in front of the whole world.
Am I alone in feeling "deeply saddened" by this turn of events?
I take it very series
And schoolteachers and CNN will be showing us pictures every day for the next month?
Sadr not taking a dirt nap now is a HUGH mistake. I really hope no more of our guys die because of this.
He needs to be tracked down and killed like the rabid dog that he is!
Who the hell is calling the shots here, and tying the Marines hands?
I'm sick and tired of this $hit.
Al Sadr needs to be executed and hung upside down, like they did to Mussolini.
let it play out. the shrine has not been destroyed, the US didn't have to storm it and have that splahed all over the world by the leftist media. I am more interested in any moves that sistani makes now, rather then sadr.
Lawrence: Sherif Ali, so long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people, greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are.
A great summary then and for now.
but it needs to be done islamic style by the families and religious leaders of Iraq, to make the point.
and I think it will.
my guess? Car Bomb, or similar.
sadr is toast.
he is free and will not be charged "legally", but will be tried and found guilty by the blood feud addicts of islam.
The relatives of the 25 dead, no doubt loyal to sistani and the provisional government livning in proximity to city of Najaf... will not be bound by the "freedom decree" by the governmnent regarding the fat ass murderor of innocent islamics in their own family.
Sadr.
Dead man walking.
I give him less than three weeks.
Are we certain they are all Muslims?
Do you check the basement regularly, just in case one, twenty five or so appear on their own?
When I sell my House I think I'm going to call
Grand Ayatollah Ali al Sistani, this guy is good!
To be honest, I'm afraid of our basement at the church. It has recently flooded and was an old, moldy place long before I arrived. That's why we're building a new building.
When we tear it down, no telling how many bodies might come floating to the top.
There might even be a few skeletons rattling a few closets in that old building.
