'The battle between Sunni and Shia Muslims for control of Baghdad has already
started, say Iraqi political leaders who predict fierce street fighting will
break out as each community takes over districts in which it is strongest.
"The fighting will only stop when a new balance of power has emerged," Fuad
Hussein, the chief of staff of Massoud Barzani, the Kurdish leader, said.
"Sunni and Shia will each take control of their own area." He said sectarian
cleansing had already begun.'
