A political crisis in Iraq has erupted into violence, after the powerful Shiite leader Moqtada al Sadr announced he was quitting frontline politics.
Gunfire and explosions have rocked Baghdad's high-security Green Zone in the past few hours, with reports of heavy fighting between rival Shiite factions.
At least 20 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the worst fighting the Iraqi capital has seen in years.
