SAMARRA:Â A bomb attack Wednesday destroyed the dome of one of the world's holiest Shiite shrines, <b>prompting reprisal attacks against 27 Sunni mosques in Baghdad that left seven people dead.</b>
In Baghdad, <b>mobs killed four clerics and three worshippers in their assaults on 27 Sunni mosques,</b> an Iraqi security officer told media.
<b>Crowds machined-gunned and set fire to some of the religious sanctuaries,</b> he added.
In the Shiite south, a crowd stormed the Basra offices of a Sunni-based political party, leaving one person dead and several others wounded, police said, giving no further details.
The mobs ignored an appeal by Iraq's top Shiite religious authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who urged his community to remain calm and to refrain from engaging in reprisals.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Lets see reaction in India on Friday.
