Iraq
Police, eyewitnesses say US helicopters attack Sadr city
2006-11-25
The horror!
(KUNA) -- Five Iraqis were injured when a US helicopter launched an offensive on a neighborhood in Sadr city in Baghdad Friday, said the Iraqi police and eyewitnesses. According to both sources, the helicopters opened fire on sectors 21 and 22 in Al-Kiyara area in Sadr city which is considered a stronghold for supporters of Shiite leader Moqtada Al-Sadr. Among the injured were a woman and a boy, who were sent to Imam Ali ibin Abi Taleb hospital for treatment, added the sources.

Sadr city witnessed a series of explosions yesterday which resulted in the death of about 202 citizens and the injury of 250 others. Although a curfew was imposed by the government to prevent attacks from occurring, several Iraqi cities witnessed different kinds of attacks which resulted in the death and injury of 90 Iraqis.

#7  FOTSGreg, in response to your question...ahh...yes, I'm happy for the upscale! "W" only reacts to pressure, and the insurgents are upping the ante. Round two; "W" will have to 'put up or shut up', and the American people has already warned him what they want. I surmise "W" will 'hell or high water' keep the troops there unti November 9th 2008, or if he's pissed until January 22nd, 2009...Kapece!

#6  smn - what the fuck is your problem? Are you happy about a potential civil war in which tens or hundreds of thousands are likely to die?

Or are you just another ignorant asswipe trolling for attention (in which case you're about to get more than you can handle)?

I am so sick of you fucking trolls who think the US and our military are the epitome of evil and the cause of all that's evil in the world. You are sick, psychotic, and evil yourselves and I've had a bellyfull of all of you. No more Mr Nice Guy! Trolls are now on my list for smackdown.

#1  I think I saw where the helos were returning fire against a position that was launching rockets at them. Not sure they were 'attacking' Sadr City at all.
