Nine Sadrites Killed in Karbala
Nine militiamen loyal to rebel cleric Muqtada al-Sadr were killed in fighting with American forces in the southern city of Karbala early Tuesday, a witness said. Ten Iraqi fighters were also injured in the clashes, which lasted more than an hour on streets near the city's Imam Hussein and Imam Abbas shrines. Mu'taz al-Hasani, a witness, said he saw nine bodies of fighters from al-Sadr's al-Mahdi Army, which launched an uprising against the U.S.-run coalition in early April.
