"I ask where is the reconciliation project and who is seeking to stop the bloodshed?" demanded Sheikh Harith al-Obeidi, preaching in the al-Shawaf Mosque in Yarmuk, a war-torn Sunni suburb of western Baghdad.
"Where is the government in this whole affair and who is going to solve the problem?"
Shiite preachers also expressed their anger.
Abdel Mahdi al-Karbalaie, a representative of Iraq's senior Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, accused Sunni extremists and Saddam's supporters of fueling the violence and driving Shiites from their homes.
