The United States suffered a major blow in its campaign to recruit friendly Shiite clerics inside Iraq last month when it lost an influential religious ally to an angry mob - and as much as $13 million the CIA had given him to cultivate supporters.

Murdered cleric 'was given $13m by CIA'

The London-based Iraqi cleric killed in the holy city of Najaf last month received as much as $13m (?8m) from the CIA to win over moderate Shia clerics in Iraq, the US newspaper Newsday alleged yesterday.

Newsday quoted a US source saying that Khoei had agreed to use the CIA cash to enlist support among prominent Shias. "We allocated $13m to the al-Khoei operation," according to what Newsday described as a well-placed intelligence source.

"It was part of a covert action programme to strengthen Shiites who are pro-western", and to recruit new allies.
