Iraq's prime minister, has extended a deadline to April 8 for Shia fighters to hand over their weapons or face "severe penalties".

Nuri al-Maliki also offered to pay fighters who gave up their weapons, as MPs held an emergency session of parliament to discuss clashes between Shia militias and the army which have killed more than 130 people.

The Iraqi government has been struggling to contain a crisis which began when a military crackdown in the southern city of Basra sparked clashes across the country.

On Friday, fighting broke in Baghdad's Sadr City and Kadhimiyah, two areas dominated by supporters of Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr

A US helicopter fired a missile during fighting in Sadr City, killing at least four people.
