country.
The curfews in Kut and Samawa are indefinite while Nasiriyah's
restrictions apply between 2:00 pm (1100 GMT) on Tuesday and 7:00
am (0400 GMT) Wednesday, security officials told AFP.
The curfew in Kut was imposed after clashes in the city, while
in Samawa and Nasiriyah it was a "precautionary" step,

leaving at least 4 people dead. The unrest broke out amid a crackdown
on armed Iraqi groups by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government.
