6. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Nouri al-Maliki, Iraqi Prime Minister:
"His Eminence the Grand Ayatollah sees the necessity of the government's power and unity, which naturally means that weapons should only be in the hands of the state. This is the direction that His Eminence has always recommended: that the state should establish it control, power and will. And we have tried, and are still trying, to find opportunities which would enable us to put an end to this issue of the militias."

8. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Nouri al-Maliki, Iraqi Prime Minister:
"There is no national salvation government. It is this current government which should be relied on to save the nation. And if there have been any recommendations, talk or statements, these have originated from certain quarters that may be opposed to the political process. They are ill-founded and will never see the light."

STORYLINE:
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with the country's most influential Shiite cleric on Saturday, a day after an attack killed 13 Pakistani and Indian pilgrims south of the capital.
Al-Maliki met with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in Najaf, 160 kilometres (100 miles) south of Baghdad, with discussions focusing on the current security situation, al-Sistani's office said.
In July, al-Sistani was credited with restraining the majority Shiite community from widespread retaliation against Sunnis following horrific attacks on Shiite civilians.
Maliki's meeting came two days after a barrage of coordinated attacks across mainly Shiite eastern Baghdad killed 64 people and wounded 286.
On Friday, the defence ministry said security forces would expand the crackdown into the eastern parts of the capital, including Shiite militia strongholds.
To the south, police said a group of 13 Pakistani and Indian pilgrims and their Iraqi driver were ambushed and killed on their way to the Shiite holy city of Karbala, 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Baghdad.
The pilgrims - 11 Pakistanis, including five women, and two Indians - were shot on Friday, police said.
They had all had their hands and legs bound.
Shiite pilgrims are to observe Shaaban, a mid-month religious celebration, on September 9.
