130 people died in Iraqi riots in two days. The cause of the disorders has been a blast at the Shia holy shrine Al-Askariya in the Iraqi city of Samarra. The enraged Shias started attacking Sunni Moslems.
The Iraqi security services have been put on high alert, but all attempts to quash the violence have failed so far.
A curfew is reported to have been imposed in Iraq, to be effective even in daytime. The measure is hoped to put an end to the spread of violence.
