A handful of Sunni mosques have been attacked or burned, but curfews and increased troop levels kept Iraq in relative calm.

The attacks took place a day after suspected al Qaida bombers toppled the towering minarets of a revered Shiite shrine.

At least four people were reported killed in apparent retaliatory attacks in Basra, and a US soldier said at least 12 rockets or mortars rained down on Baghdad's heavily-guarded Green Zone.
