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

    The Samarra and coalition force leadership hold a joint press conference about the improved security and economic opportunities in Samarra. The majestic Maqam Ghaybat Shrine reopened, Sept. 30, 2008, after over two years of silence, allowing Shia worshippers to pray in the early morning.
