A POSTING on an Islamist website has warned Iraqis to stay at home today in Baghdad and other cities or they would be "putting their lives in danger".
The statement, in the name of eight known militant groups, said the unified "Islamic resistance" would step up operations against the "American enemy" in retaliation for the US-led attack on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.
The statement urged Iraqis to stay at home today "to avoid putting their lives in danger".
In Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown, insurgents distributed leaflets warning shopkeepers to close their stores indefinitely starting today to protest about the attack on Fallujah.
Some families said they would keep their children away from school because of the insurgent threat.
