Sadr could easily be assassinated while delivering a sermon at the Kufa mosque. Doing so would insure his becoming a martyr with disciples venerating his memory for the next century. Sadr needs to be caught doing something unnatural with a sheep while eating a ham sandwich. During the following up roar is when he could be openly eliminated. Otherwise his death needs to be at the hands of a highup traitor from within his own organization (arranging this is the best approach).
