Shi'ites hold a march to commemorate the anniversary of the death of leading Shi'ite cleric Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, in the holy city of Najaf August 11, 2005. Al-Hakim was killed in a car bombing of a Shi'ite shrine in Najaf on August 29, 2003. Al-Hakim's brother, Iraqi Shi'ite leader Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, said on Thursday Shi'ites should have their own federal region taking in all of the Shi'ite areas in oil-rich southern Iraq.
