World News Baghdad Sunnis complain of U.S.-built ‘prison wall’

Criticism mounted yesterday over a wall US troops are building around a Sunni enclave surrounded by Shia areas in Baghdad, with residents calling it “collective punishment” and the local council leader saying the community did not approve the project before construction began. The US military says the wall in the minority Sunni community of Adhamiyah is meant to secure the neighborhood. Iraqi PM Nouri Al-Maliki said on Sunday he had asked for an end to construction work on the wall. US forces say the wall should be complete soon.
