| 66 killed in southern Iraq clashes |
|
NASIRIYAH ( 2008-01-19 11:01:52 ) :
Street battles between members of a shadowy messianic sect and Iraq's security forces in two southern cities killed at least 66 people, mostly cult members, police said on Saturday.
At least 35 members of the Shia doomsday cult were killed in the southern port city of Basra and 18 in Nasiriyah, about 350 kilometres (220 miles) south of Baghdad, police officials said.
The other casualties were police and civilians.
Fighting continued sporadically through the night in Nasiriyah and flared again at daybreak when Iraq's security forces launched a new raid against the cult members, who had taken over houses and a mosque.
In Basra, fighting died down during the night and the streets were calm on Saturday, police said.
