US occupation forces trying to remove Moqtada al-Sadr's movement from Baghdad
Baghdad, 26 March - After repeated raids on offices of Moqtada al-Sadr's movement in Baghdad, a large number of al-Sadr's militiamen have been killed today in clashes with the US occupation forces. According to Hazem al-Aaraji, a representant of al-Sadr's office, the men were killed in the Mostafa mosque in the neighborhood of Ur, in northern Baghdad.
The US army spokespersons declined to give any information, but Iraqi police and inhabitants from the area around the mosque confirmed that the military operation had taken place and talked about 10 killed. Al-Aaraji says the number exceeds 20, but non confirmation could be obtained, as the area was immediately sealed off by the US forces.
