Baghdad - Police imposed curfews in three southern Iraqi Shi'ite cities on Tuesday following clashes between militiamen and security forces in the southern city of Basra, security officials told AFP.

The curfews in Kut and Samawa are indefinite while Nasiriyah's restrictions apply between 14:00 on Tuesday and 07:00 on Wednesday, they said.

The curfew in Kut was imposed after clashes in the city, while in Samawa and Nasiriyah it was a "precautionary" step, a security official said.
