People in the Baghdad western district of Amiriya woke up on the first day of eid, 30 September 2008 to find many streets in their area blocked by concrete blocks being put by the Iraqi Army, causing heavy traffic in the back streets of the area in search for the few streets that were kept open, which would allow them to reach the main streets in the area.
Some people in the area expected that this comes in preparation for the power shift of supervising the Awakening movement from US to Iraqi control on 1 Oct.
No increase of patrols or military presence was noticed.
