I have my suspicions about his motivation.
Mohammad Bahr al-Uloom, a Shiite dignitary on Iraq's Governing Council, announced on Saturday he was suspending his membership of the interim body in protest against Friday's bombing in this holy city that claimed the lives of a top Shiite leader and 82 others.

"This indifference (about protecting Shiite holy sites) prompts me to suspend my membership of the Governing Council, which was unable to assume its responsibility of ensuring that coalition forces protect our people, holy sites and religious authorities," Bahr al-Uloom said in a statement.
