Apr. 22 - Baghdad residents have mixed feelings about wall to separate Shi'ites and Sunnis.
U.S. troops have begun building a five kilometre (3 mile) cement wall around a Sunni enclave in Baghdad, a project described as the centrepiece of a new strategy to combat sectarian violence.
While confirming the new strategy, senior U.S. military officials in Baghdad said it was not their intention to divide the Iraqi capital into "gated communities" as part of a two-month-old security crackdown.
