Shiite Anger Mounts in Iraq Amid Clashes

BAGHDAD (AP) --

Tens of thousands of Shiites took the streets to protest the
government's crackdown on militias in Basra as heavy fighting between
Iraqi security forces and gunmen erupted for a third day in the
southern oil port and Baghdad.

Iraqi officials reported 17 more people killed in overnight clashes in
Baghdad's main Shiite district of Sadr City and raised the number of
deaths from fighting in the southern city of Hillah to at least 60.
