Sectarian clashes in Baghdad

"A massive wave of sectarian violence engulfed several districts of Baghdad yesterday. The violence was sparked by news reports of sniper attacks against Shi’ite pilgrims heading to the shrine of Imam Musa Al-Kadhim in Kadhimiya to commemorate his death anniversary. When the news had spread, armed members of ‘popular committees’ (militias) accompanying the pilgrims opened fire against residences in some Sunni districts surrounding Kadhimiya. Others took over Sunni mosques in Sulaikh, Dola’I, and Palestine Street, and reprisals were reported from several areas of Baghdad."

"Another encounter with Jordanian security

A close friend had a disturbing encounter with undercover Jordanian security agents in Amman. He was resting on a bench at Wasfi Al-Tall Street when a civilian vehicle carrying three men pulled over next to him. One of them motioned to him to come forward. They asked for his ID, to which he offered them his Iraqi passport."
