Well, it Worked…
By Dr. Steven Taylor @ 7:49 am

Those who wanted to spark serious sectarian violence in Iraq by destroying the golden dome of the Askariya Shrine suceeded (via the NYT: Blast at Shiite Shrine Sets Off Sectarian Fury in Iraq

Shiite militia members flooded the streets of Baghdad, firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns at Sunni mosques while Iraqi Army soldiers who had been called out to stop the violence stood helpless nearby. By the day’s end, mobs had struck or destroyed 27 Sunni mosques in the capital, killing three imams and kidnapping a fourth, Interior Ministry officials said. In all, at least 15 people were killed in related violence across the country.


The BBC reports
:

More than 100 people have been killed in Iraq in the aftermath of a bomb attack on a key Shia Muslim shrine.

Fifty bullet-riddled bodies were found in Baghdad overnight and 47 factory workers were killed at a roadblock on the outskirts of the capital.
