IRAQ-US-UNREST-BAGHDAD

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY KARIM TALBI A US soldier stands guard as returning Iraqi residents unload furniture at their home in the Al-Dora neighbourhood in Baghdad on July 3, 2008. A drop in violence and increased security has persuaded some Shiites, Sunnis and Christians who fled sectarian violence in the mixed areas of the capital to return to their homes. However despite the US and Iraqi army patrols and the end of the brutal clashes that once plagued the area threats, intimidations and murder continue to haunt the former 'ghost town' neighbourhood of Al-Dora.
