The location where Iraqi Kurds are reported to have clashed is Kirkuk, 250 north of Baghdad. Other reports are that at Hanakin, 150 kilos north of Baghdad, Iraqi citizens also entered into some kind of fights with Iraqi troops loyal to Saddam. There were an unreported number of casulties on both sides. It appears the fighting may have subsided. An Iraqi military position or positions are reported to have suffered damage. It was confirmed the anti-government clash saw participation from the Iraq Islamic Revolution High Command, an anti-government Iraqi group. Witnesses report in Kirkuk that three large statues of Saddam Hussein have been toppled. It is stated that due to the strong secret police network in Iraq, it is extremely rare for the symbois of Saddam's power, his large statues, to be overturned as they have been in Kirkuk.The anti-Saddam uprising in 1991 after the Gul War, particularly in the south of the country, saw this trademark overturning of Saddam's statues, too.
