Iraq politician says 1,700 Sunnis killed in unrest


BAGHDAD, March 30 (Reuters) - A Sunni Arab leader said on Thursday more than 1,700 Sunnis had been killed in Iraq's sectarian bloodshed since a major Shi'ite mosque was bombed a month ago, but it was unclear how he arrived at the figure.

The spiralling violence between Shi'ites and minority Sunnis, with death squads and militias leaving scores of horribly mutilated corpses in the streets every day, has stoked fears of an all-out sectarian civil war.

"Up to now, more than 1,700 bodies of Sunnis have been delivered to the morgue," Adnan al-Dulaimi, who heads the largest Sunni bloc in the newly elected parliament, told Reuters.

"The killing is continuing and every day nearly 50 Sunnis get killed and we expect this number will rise in the coming days."

2. And so now, the US is overseeing the genocide of the Sunnis?

We really have a lot to answer for to whatever karmaic force there is.
