BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's top cleric called on Friday for bitterly divided politicians to "close ranks" and told them to stop what he called their "radical discourse".

Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Kurdish regional president Massoud Barzani have been in a war of words this week with Barzani warning Maliki should not stand for a third term and Maliki accusing the Kurdish capital Arbil of becoming a den for terrorists that have seized large parts of the country.
