The Iraqi government has ordered 1 million Shiite pilgrims to leave the southern city of Karbala after fighting between government security forces and militiamen (likely loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr) killed 26.As if that weren't enough, north of Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi forces were battling Sunni insurgents who had been blocking the flow of water to the Shiite town of Khalis. 33 insurgents were killed, but there was no word on Iraqi or U.S. forces casualties.And there's more - a suicide bombing at a mosque in Fallujah (a Sunni city west of Baghdad) on Monday night killed 11.
