Families seek shelter from religious strife.

Published Sunday, April 30, 2006
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Sectarian violence has forced about 100,000 families across Iraq to flee their homes, a top Iraqi official said. At least 17 people, including an American soldier, were killed yesterday in fighting.

Adil Abdul-Mahdi, one of the country’s two vice presidents, estimated on Friday that 100,000 Iraqi families - 90 percent of them his fellow Shiites - had fled their homes to escape attacks by rival religious sects.

Abdul-Mahdi’s estimate was higher than any offered so far by Iraqi officials.

Salah Abdul-Razzaq, spokesman of a government body that runs Shiite religious institutions, put the number of displaced Shiite families at 13,750 nationwide, or about 90,000 people.
