| Al-Dhari strongly opposes the proposed national conference |
Al-Dhari was handed over to the Iraqi police prior to his release on Thursday.
He had been detained by US forces
on 2 August when he turned up at the Um al-Quraa mosque, the headquarters of the Association of Muslim Scholars.
Supporters of the Islamic figure said he had been arrested for opposing the proposed US-backed Iraqi national conference in a TV programme.
Al-Dhari's arrest triggered strong condemnation from Arab associations and political groups in the region and demands for his release.
