Curfews in place to prevent mosque attacks
Five US soldiers have died in Iraq, the US military announced today, a day after extremists fired shells into Baghdad’s Green Zone during a visit by the US State Department’s No. 2 official.
The prime minister imposed an indefinite curfew on Basra, Iraq’s second largest city and gateway to the Persian Gulf, starting at 4pm after bombers levelled a Sunni shrine just outside the city this morning.
