Spreading the fear and terror propaganda again: U.S Troops Raid Baghdad Shiite District
U.S Troops Raid Baghdad Shiite District

BAGHDAD (AP) - U.S. troops raided a Shiite area of Baghdad on Thursday, capturing two militants believed linked to Iran and sparking a battle that Iraqi officials said killed 19 people. Two employees of the Reuters news agency were among the dead. {emphasis mine}

Angry residents of the Amin district - many of them Shiites who fled to Baghdad from Baqouba, where U.S. troops are waging an offensive against insurgents - accused U.S. helicopters of striking buildings during the fight with gunmen and killing civilians. The U.S. military did not immediately comment on the fighting.

Among the dead were at least one woman and two children, and some of the men slain appeared to have been armed and firing on the Americans, Iraqi police and hospital officials said.

AP Television News footage showed buildings riddled with holes from heavy machine gun and rocket fire, and a minibus with its front seat blasted away.
