Explosions reportedly caused the collapse of the shrine’s two minarets. The 2006 bombing of the golden dome at the same shrine sparked the rampant sectarian strife in Iraq that continues today. <a href="http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/20070613_shia_shrine_bombed_in_samarra/">http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/20070613_shia_shrine_bombed_in_samarra/</a> Copyright © 2007 Truthdig, L.L.C.
