Baghdad security crackdown launches with 75000 troops
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki orders Baghdad’s largest security operation since the U.S. invasion. Some 75,000 Iraqi and multinational troops deploy to seal roads, expand checkpoints, and raid insurgent hideouts. A 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, a weapons ban, and a new uniform system are planned as clashes loom in Sunni areas. Al-Maliki seeks to curb violence amid Muqtada al Sadr’s planned protests and al Zarqawi’s killing.
