Police say Shia militants stopped cars in the western Jihad district, separated Sunnis and shot them. There has been an upsurge in sectarian violence in Iraq in recent months, raising fears of a civil war. Militias have in the past used police uniforms to carry out attacks but the scale of this incident is exceptional. Shia militiamen entered Jihad on Sunday morning, pulled people from cars and killed Sunni Muslims, according to police. " They also went into certain Sunni houses and killed everyone inside, " a witness told AFP news agency. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5162510.stm IRAQ dasha: Ma/Ju/Me/Ra/Ve satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
