Workers used giant cranes to remove the concrete walls that have long lined Baghdad's streets and surrounded whole neighborhoods. Iraqis are pleased with the move and have welcomed the government decision, saying the blast walls distorted their lives and businesses. Iraqi authorities had sought the construction of the walls as security against suicide bombings.
