The 1999 Shia uprising in Iraq (Arabic: انتفاضة العراق 1999, romanized: intifāḍa al-ʿIrāq 1999) or Second Sadr Uprising (انتفاضة الصدر intifāḍa ṣadara) was a short period of unrest in Iraq in early 1999 following the killing of Muhammad al-Sadr allegedly by the then Ba'athist–led government of Iraq. The protests and ensuing violence were strongest in the heavily Shia neighborhoods of Baghdad, as well as southern majority Shiite cities such as Karbala, Nasiriyah, Kufa, Najaf, and Basra.
