Detention acts adds to growing sectarianism in Iraqi

In the context of the acts of detention, the American forces detained Sheikh Talal Abdul Karim al-Matar, chief of the tribes council in Sameraa ( 120 km to the north of Baghdad) on charge of involvement in launching operations against the American forces and giving shelters to gunmen, according to a source in the Iraqi police.

In an incident which is expected to flare up sectarianism once again, the Iraqi Islamic party condemned the killing of ten Arab Sunnis as they were being held by the police by the beginning of this week.

In a statement, the party said that the ten men were suffocated after the police forces put them in a locked truck for 14 hours in 40 centigrade temperature.

Worth noting that the number of reports have increased greatly that describe all manifestations of the increasing sectarianism building up between the different religious factions in Iraq.
