"U.S. Troops Kill 11 in Mahdi Army"
BAGHDAD — American soldiers raided a neighborhood in the southern Iraqi city of Kut early Thursday morning, killing 11 members of the Mahdi Army, the militia loyal to hardline Shiite cleric Moktada Sadr.
Leaders of the Sadr movement, which has abided by a ceasefire for several weeks, condemned the operation but said that they would not conduct any reprisal attacks.
Eyewitnesses said detonations, thumping helicopters and bursts of automatic weapons-fire echoed through the neighborhood of Al Jameea for at least three hours as United States forces fought Mahdi militiamen. At least four people were injured during the clash.
Jameel Mohammed, a 27-year-old construction worker:
“The American helicopters shelled our neighborhood for three hours. Dead bodies were scattered here and there. Houses and cars were set on fire, and people were scared and running all over the place.”Hassan Jassim, a shop owner, said that his sister-in-law was injured in the fighting and walked out of his house to see three dead bodies lying in the street:
“American helicopters fired on our houses.”
It's U.S. MURDER THEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's see what is in my War Dailies later, readers!
“The truce is still valid and in accordance with the orders of our leader Sayyid Moktada Sadr."
I am humbled by the fact that the Shi'ites and the Mahdis are TURNING the OTHER CHEEK!!!!
Would a NaZionist or a Zionist Christian ever do that?
