Cautious calm blankets the Iraqi capital Baghdad a day after security forces clash with pro-reform demonstrators who stormed the highly-fortified Green Zone. A curfew that was declared in the wake of the violence, was lifted on Saturday, with most of the roads re-opened. Security forces are still on tiptoes fearing a relapse of violence. Iraqi officials stress the importance of unity at this point to prevent the enemies from wreaking havoc among different cultural components. From Baghdad Altaf Ahmed reports.
