“Heavy fighting erupted in a bastion of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s militia in Basra onThursday, witnesses said, as military operations against gunmen in the southern city entered a third day. An AFP correspondent said rocket propelled grenades and mortar, machine gun and small arms fire rocked the central Jumhuriyah neighbourhood from early morning. … Fighting has spread to Sadr’s stronghold in Baghdad and other cities, with at least 50 people killed in the clashes countrywide since Tuesday, according to Iraqi officials.” (03/27/08) Link: http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jeJxmCcXLSDFDf6UEokHjle8AVwg Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
