Al-Sadr aides say they tried handing the keys over but representatives for the Grand Ayatollah refused them - insisting the shrine first be evacuated.
The shrine remains the center of the crisis in Najaf as the two sides argue over how to hand the holy site over.
Despite the stand- off , the streets of Najaf remain relatively calm today.

Meanwhile, police in the southern city of Amarah (Am-Ara) say al-Sadr militants blew up an oil pipeline just outside of town yesterday.

The explosion comes one day after Mahdi Army Fighters set fire to an oil company's warehouses near Basra.

(("Open Water" (Lion's Gate Films)
Review by: Joel Sink
"Open Water" proves that reality is far more terrifying than a special effects extravaganza like "Alien Vs. Predator". "Open Water" is based on actual events that took place near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
"Open Water" begins as Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis) are leaving for a tropical vacation. Their lives are full of
cell phone calls and stress and hundreds of details that make each of us need a tropical vacation. On the second day of their vacation the
pair heads off on a boat for an open water scuba dive. The divers are carefully counted while still on the boat, but due to an error counting
the divers as they return, the boat leaves the site without Susan and Daniel. As the stranded pair come to the surface they think that the
boat accidentally left them, but will return when they realize the mistake. (Their belongings are still on the boat.) After 24 hours in
the water, and numerous sharks, the pair begins to wonder if they will be rescued.
"Open Water" is a terrifying movie. If you are looking for something with action and special effects like "Deep Blue Sea" or "Jaws" even,
this movie is probably not going to work for you. If the thought of being left in mid-ocean to fend for yourself is scary, then you will
find this movie terrifying. There are no special effects - just real sharks. The film had a budget of $130,000 and was shot on video (think
"Blair Witch", but better). The actors are passable, but they don't carry the movie. What does carry the movie is that these events could
happen to anyone. If I had a criticism it would be the "video look" and a couple of places where I didn't see the emotion I expected from the
actors. The fact that this film was done for pocket change and shot on weekends gives me a really good reason to forgive these small problems.
