An Iraqi Shi'ite man holds up a portrait of the Shiite cleric, leader of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and the head of the Shi'ite alliance, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim after the results of the county's national elections were announced, in the holy Shi'te city of Najaf, February 13, 2005. A Shi'ite Islamist bloc, headed by al-Hazim, won Iraq's first election since Saddam Hussein's overthrow, sealing the political resurgence of the long-oppressed majority but leaving the restive Sunni Arab minority in the cold.
