Supporters of Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, a former anti-U.S. insurgent leader, have surrounded the Majnoon oil field in Basra since Monday evening as well as the 210,000 barrel per day (bpd) Basrah refinery, according to two sources.
But protesters are expected to leave these areas shortly after Sadr told supporters to withdraw from violent clashes, one of the sources said.
