Attacks on Mosques mark day after shrine bomb
A handful of Sunni mosques were attacked or burned today, but curfews and increased troop levels kept Iraq in relative calm a day after suspected al Qaida bombers toppled the towering minarets of a revered Shiite shrine.
At least four people were reported killed in apparent retaliatory attacks in Basra, and a US soldier said at least 12 rockets or mortars rained down on Baghdad’s heavily-guarded Green Zone this afternoon.
