Iraq's top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani called today for early elections to end the months of political paralysis that have gripped the protest-hit country. “The quickest and most peaceful way out of the current crisis and to avoid plunging into the unknown, chaos or internal strife ... is to rely on the people by holding early elections”, said a representative of Sistani, who never appears in public.
