Chaos as usual in Iraq — this from an NYT report on sectarian fighting north of Baghdad:
Gun battles also broke out Wednesday in the market in central Baquba, as Shiite militiamen fought with Sunni Arab insurgents, according to a shopkeeper, Hassan Abdul Fattah, 25.
The Shiite militiamen had distributed fliers in the morning warning Sunni storeowners to keep their shops closed or they would be killed, he said. Sunni Arab guerrillas then put out fliers telling the storeowners to open their shops or risk death.
