| (KUNA) -- Iraqis experienced shaky calm on Monday as the authorities maintained special security precautions it had enforced simultaneously with yesterday's verdict-issuance session held by the higher court that ended prosecution of the ousted dictator Saddam Hussein and seven of his henchmen. A source of the interior ministry told KUNA that the government decided to extend the curfew in the main cities indefinitely, as a precaution against a possible bloody backlash by supporters of Saddam, who was handed a death sentence against him and two of his former aides during yesterday's session. Baghdad, the cities of Mosul and Baqouba witnessed several security indicents, yesterday, despite the special measures. In Baqouba, the police dispersed demonstrators opposing the death sentence. The police opened fire at the protestors killing one and wounding five others. In Mosul, the security forces dispersed a similar demonstration but no one was hurt. |
