Baghdad Under Curfew

"The government clamped a 24-hour curfew on the capital today shortly after U.S. forces arrested the bodyguard of a prominent Sunni leader on suspicion of plotting a suicide attack inside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone," according to a report in the LA Times.

Forbes reports that "the U.S. military said a captured al-Qaida suspect and members of his cell were "in the final stages" of planning an attack on the Green Zone. An unprecedented curfew prompted by the arrest left millions of Baghdadis stranded at home on Saturday without supplies during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan."

"Violence persisted elsewhere in the country. In the northern city of Tal Afar, a car bomb exploded at 8 a.m., killing two people and wounding 33 others, all civilians. In Kirkuk, a car bomb exploded at 8:30 a.m. at the home of a police official, wounding him, his wife and four others. Another one exploded at 8 p.m. at the home of another police official, wounding 17 civilians," as reported by the New York Times.
