Who controls Baghdad?
The sectarian divide between Shite and Sunni Muslims in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad becomes ever wider, as the suicide bombing continues and the respective militias carve up local districts. There now exists an ‘arc’ of domination by Shiite militias in the north of Baghdad, while Sunni militias have carved out a few enclaves in Baghdad’s south and are now expanding into nearby areas. You can see a pictorial representation of this divide here.
