ARTICLE: Iraqi Troops Mass for Assault in South, By ANDREW E. KRAMER, New York Times, June 15, 2008

To wit:

In a statement read by aides during Friday prayers, Mr. Sadir said the movement would be divided into two branches. One group will remain armed and operate as an underground force, continuing to oppose the presence of American troops. The other branch would concentrate on politics and providing social services to Iraqis.
