Excerpts:

The rare display of sectarian unity came after Shiite radicals launched an uprising in cities across central and southern Iraq (news - web sites), shattering a year of relative tolerance of the US-led occupation from the country's majority community.

"No Sunnis, no Shiites, yes for Islamic unity," the marchers chanted. "We are Sunni and Shiite brothers and will never sell our country."

The marchers set off from the Um al-Qora mosque in west Baghdad where wellwishers donated food, drinks and medicine.
