Fresh fighting in Sadr City

Fresh fighting in Sadr City
Friday 01 October 2004

Nine members of Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army and three civilians were killed during clashes with US forces in Baghdad's Sadr City.

The pre-dawn clashes, erupted at 3am (midnight GMT) and 6am on Friday in the poor neighbourhood of Sadr City and claimed the lives of nine militia men, a Mahdi Army member said

At the local hospital, three wounded civilians were brought in, said Dr Jabbar Sulak.

The US military said there were few incidents over night and nothing that qualified as major fighting.
