Iraq's President Jalal Talabani (R) and Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki attend a funeral ceremony of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of one of Iraq's most powerful Shi'ite parties, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (ISCI), at Baghdad's airport August 28, 2009. Iraqi leaders gathered at Baghdad airport on Friday to receive the body of the leading Shi'ite figure whose death could heighten political instability before national polls many fear may be marred by violence.
