Vehicles will be allowed back in the streets at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT). Pedestrians are free to travel immediately.

*BAGHDAD - Mortar shells slammed into Baghdad's western Sunni district of Adhamiya, wounding seven people, police said.

TIKRIT - Two U.S. soldiers were killed when a helicopter crashed in Salahaddin province north of Baghdad on Monday, the military said. "No activity fire was observed in the area at that time," a U.S. statement said, adding that the crash was under investigation.

BAQUBA - Police said the final toll when forces opened fire on pro-Saddam demonstrators in Baquba on Sunday was two dead and six wounded. Hundreds of people defied a curfew to protest after Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death.
