Baghdad Lockdown
The entire city of Baghdad has been ordered locked down until Sunday by the Iraq government. It imposed a "curfew" that does not permit Iraqis to leave their homes all day Saturday.
As of late Friday, the reason for this action remains unclear. The government cited "intelligence information" on the "security situation." One US TV report suggested the government discovered plans for a military coup. Sectarian violence has increased recently, reports of the curfew noted, but that's been happening for some time.

As of Saturday, U.S. officials in Baghdad have said only that periodic curfews have succeeded in the past in cooling things off for awhile. But this is the first time even pedestrians have been included.
