The coach of the Iraqi national tennis team and two of his players were shot dead in Baghdad, apparently for wearing shorts in a district where Islamic radicals have started to enforce brutal, Taleban-style law.
Radicals have been leaving leaflets at homes, forbidding women to drive or go outside without being veiled. The leaflet also warns men not to wear shorts or dress in T-shirts bearing images or English writing.
In addition, the leaflet forbids men from wearing goatee beards and anyone from buying mayonnaise.
The leaflet threatens violators with death.
