BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Sectarian violence has displaced more than 30,000 Iraqis -- victims of gunmen who warn them to leave or die -- since a Shi'ite shrine was bombed last month, the government said on Wednesday.

The attack on the mosque in Samarra on February 22 touched off reprisals and pushed Iraq toward civil war. The bodies of hundreds of victims of communal violence have been dumped along the streets, many bound and showing signs of torture.

The bloodshed has also created a potential humanitarian crisis. Thousands of families had to flee their homes after being threatened with death because of their sect.

Sattar Nawrouz, spokesman for the Ministry of Displacement and Migration, estimated 33,000 people have been uprooted by insurgents or Islamic militants bent on purging areas of Shi'ites or Sunni Arabs.
