Iraq’s PM Nouri al-Maliki promised to pursue his fight against Shiite militias in Basra to "the end." Al-Sadr called for a political solution to the burgeoning crisis and an end to the "shedding of Iraqi blood." Tens of thousands of Shiites took to Baghdad's streets to protest the government crackdown on militias in Basra as heavy fighting between Iraqi security forces and gunmen erupted for a third day in the southern oil port and the capital. The death toll in the Shiite city of Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, rose to at least 60. Tahseen Sheikhly, the Sunni civilian spokesman for the Baghdad security operation, was kidnapped and three bodyguards killed. A booby-trapped car exploded near the Iraqi Red Crescent Society's offices in Baghdad, killing two civilians and wounding five.
