Al Latif is the fifth Mahdi Army-controlled neighborhood cleared in Basrah since Operation Knights' Assault was launched on March 25.

It would be helpful to know how many neighborhoods are in Basrah and how many of them are under Mahdi control.

I'm not sure how many neighborhoods are in Basra, but from what I hear, very little of Basra is under JAM control anymore.

People are coming out into the daylight and living free there again.
