Earlier, Iraq's
Presidency Council called on people, tribes, and
political entities to stand side by side with
security forces' attempt to eliminate all armed
groups, and to put Basra back on the right track of
security, prosperity, and construction.
Armed confrontations have been flaring up in Basra,
since Monday night, between government forces and
Sadr's Mahdi Army militias. The clashes coincide
with angry reactions in several southern provinces,www.ekurd.net

spread.
The Iraqi authorities declared a curfew in many
provinces and Baghdad to avoid further clashes that
left dozens killed and wounded during the past
couple of days.
