37 killed as US troops battle militants in Baghdad
21 hours ago
BAGHDAD (AFP) — At least 37 people were killed in Baghdad's Shiite
militia bastion of Sadr City on Tuesday, as gunmen clashed with US
soldiers under cover of a severe sandstorm.
Several rockets or mortar rounds also struck the Iraqi capital's
heavily fortified government compound, as militants took advantage of
the absence of US air cover during the storm, witnesses said.
In one of the most intense firefights in weeks, the American soldiers
killed 28 militants in Sadr City, stronghold of anti-American cleric
Moqtada al-Sadr, the military said.
Four US soldiers were also wounded in the fighting that began at
around 9:30 am (0630 GMT).
The fighting erupted when a US patrol was targeted with small-arms
fire that wounded one soldier, Lieutenant Colonel Steven Stover told
AFP.
As the soldier was being evacuated, a US vehicle was struck by two
roadside bombs, small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades.
The "complex" attack damaged the vehicle and wounded three other
soldiers, Stover said, adding that another US vehicle was later
damaged by a third roadside bomb.
The US military said its soldiers defended themselves and "killed 28
militants in a four-hour" battle.
Residents said US forces also launched two air strikes in the area
which heavily damaged four houses.
Pictures taken by an AFP photographer showed a number of bodies buried
under the debris of the four houses.
But Stover denied that aircraft had been used. The sandstorm had
largely grounded US helicopters.
Instead he said US troops used heavy rockets against the militants.
"It was these militants who initiated the engagement by attacking US
soldiers," he said.
Iraqi officials said nine people, including three women and a child,
were also killed in the clashes.
"We continually show great restraint and professionalism when attacked
and clearly identify the enemy before engaging their positions," said
US commander Colonel Allen Batschelet in a statement.
"The enemy continues to show little regard for innocent civilians, as
they fire their weapons from within houses, alleyways and rooftops
upon our soldiers.
Iraqi and US forces have been fighting Shiite militiamen in Sadr City
since March 25, with some 480 militants and civilians killed to date,
according to an AFP tally based on US and Iraqi figures.
At least 18 US soldiers have been killed in Baghdad since the fighting
erupted.
The US military says its troops are deployed only in the southern
section of Sadr City in a bid to prevent rocket or mortar fire against
the Green Zone, the seat of the US embassy as well as the Iraqi
government.
Militants fired several rockets or mortar rounds into the compound on
Tuesday, a witness said.
The US military says that those fighting its troops are not loyal to
Sadr who has frozen the activities of his Mahdi Army militia since
last August.
On Friday, Sadr called for a halt to the fighting against Iraqi
government troops, saying that a recent threat he had made to launch
an all-out war was directed only at US forces.
Sadr's spokesman Saleh al-Obeidi said the new fighting was "defeating
any chance of a solution to the crisis in a peaceful way".
"What is going on in Sadr City is a crime against humanity. Nobody can
accept it. We condemn this crime committed by the occupier," he said.
North of Baghdad, in the town of Mukhisa in Diyala province, a female
suicide bomber killed two members of a local anti-Qaeda group, the US
military said.
Further north, around the oil city of Kirkuk four people were killed
and 15 wounded in two bomb attacks, Police Captain Abdullah Hussein
said.
A bomb in a shop in the city centre selling Iraqi military equipment
killed three civilians and wounded seven, he said.
A second bomb north of the city killed a civilian and wounded eight
people, three of them soldiers from a passing patrol that was the
target of the attack.
