Anees mengatakan kerusuhan meletus setelah anggota masyarakat Syiah melancarkan demonstrasi Jumat di luar tempat ibadah guna memperoleh warga Sunni yang dituduh meneriakkan slogan anti-Syiah selama pawai agama pekan lalu.
Anees said trouble erupted after members of the Shiite community staged a demonstration Friday outside their mosque against local Sunnis who allegedly chanted anti-Shiite slogans during a religious rally last week.
