    Morning prayers heard again in Samarra shrine amidst peace - Safest Ramadan since 2003 locals said

    The Samarra Mayor Mahmood Khalaf Ahmed talked with reporters, Sept. 30, 2008, about the opening of the majestic Maqam Ghaybat Shrine, which is co-located with the Al Askari Shrine. Hundreds of Shia worshippers gathered in the early morning to pray. The comprehensive security strategy established by the Samarra Operation Center and coalition forces has seen over an 85% reduction in monthly attacks in the last year.
