Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of one of the most powerful Shia parties in Iraq, has died, his aides say.

Hakim had been suffering from cancer and had been receiving treatment in hospital in the Iranian capital Tehran.

He led the SIIC from 2003 when his brother was killed after his return to Iraq following the US-led invasion.
