Iraq: Scores Killed in Sectarian Clashes 
-----------------------------------------


 
In Iraq, some 190 people have died in four days of violence. Clashes
began Tuesday when troops raided a Sunni protest encampment in Hawija,
but violence has erupted in other areas amid mounting tensions between
Sunni groups and the Shiite-led government. Reuters said this week's
violence was the most widespread since U.S. combat troops withdrew in
December 2011.
