Iraqis Mixed in Reaction to Transfer

<snip>
In the Sunni stronghold of Azimiya, where Saddam took refuge before abandoning the city in April 2003, the mood was more subdued than among the Shiites.


"When we regain our security, safety and jobs, we will celebrate then," Ahmed Karim, 31, as he stood opposite the Abu Hanifa Mosque, where Saddam was seen the day after his statue fell. "When I can go out for dinner with my friends after 9 p.m, we will celebrate."


A Sunni mother strolling down the street with her two daughters said she found no reason to celebrate.


"There is no difference," the woman, who gave her name as Umm Laila, or Mother of Laila. "As long as I see American soldiers in front of me, there is no reason to celebrate."
