Negotiations on Iraq government look protracted

United Iraqi Alliance candidate Ibrahim al-Jaafari said on Friday that Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, has endorsed his nomination for prime minister.

The endorsement from the Iranian-born cleric came after members of the clergy-backed alliance openly questioned its decision Tuesday to nominate the 58-year-old leader of the conservative Islamic Dawa Party as its candidate for prime minister following Jan. 30 elections.

Kurdish stance:

Meanwhile, Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani said  the Kurds had not decided who to back, as negotiations over the formation of the government looked set to be protracted.

Zarqawi aide nabbed:

In the meantime, Iraq's government said it had captured a key lieutenant of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant who is al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq and behind some of the bloodiest attacks. Talib al-Dulaymi, known as Abu Qutaybah, was captured on Feb. 20 in Anah, 60 km (35 miles) from Syria's border.
