There is relative calm in Iraq's capital and the second city of Basra a day after a radical Shia cleric orders his fighters off the streets.Moqtada al-Sadr on Sunday told his Mehdi Army militias to stop fighting government troops. The fighting has claimed more than 240 lives across the country since Tuesday. Iraqi authorities responded by lifting a three-day curfew in the capital.
