		When the stampede began, many of the Sunnis of Adhamiyah heard the tumult and came to see what was happening.

		Thousands of Shiites joined worshippers at the Abu Hanifa mosque in the staunchly Sunni neighbourhood of Adhamiyah, considered a bastion of anti-Americanism since fierce fighting there destroyed the building's minaret during the US-led invasion in spring last year.
		The phenomenon of Shiites and Sunnis praying together, particularly in an area like Adhamiyah known for its sympathy for Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime, is the strange fruit of last month's uprising by Shiite radicals which came as US marines assaulted the Sunni insurgent bastion of Fallujah.
		Suddenly, Sadr, whose father was killed by Saddam's regime in 1999, was seeking an alliance with a community that would have been his sworn enemy before the US-led invasion.

		What may have seemed to be a period of unrest turned out to be the prologue to even greater violence. Nothing will make Baghdad safe for a foreigner at the moment, but the threat can be diminished.
		The risks are high in hard-core Sunni districts of Baghdad such as Haifa Street or Adhamiyah, or in the western suburbs on the road to Abu Ghraib and Fallujuah.
		It is also dangerous around the entrances and exits to the Green Zone, the heavily guarded seat of the interim government and the coalition authorities. Foreigners not in uniforms, or hunched over machine-guns in armoured vehicles, are becoming an increasingly rare sight in Baghdad, and Iraqis look very surprised to see one.

		For years, it has been a place where bad elements from Ramadi and Fallujah would congregate in Baghdad, so it is not terribly surprising that there would be unrest in Adhamiyah given the activity in Fallujah.
