US air strikes kill six in Baghdad
2008-03-22
BAGHDAD - Clashes involving fighters firing mortar shells and US-Iraqi forces in southwest Baghdad killed six suspected insurgents and wounded one, IraqÂ’s interior ministry and American officials said on Friday. The clashes occurred in the Saydiyah neighbourhood on Thursday, the officials said.

‘There was an engagement yesterday in the Saydiyah area involving an aerial weapons team and an enemy mortar team,’ a military spokesman, Major Kirk Luedeke, told AFP. ‘Six enemy combatants were positively identified, engaged and killed by the Aerial Weapons Team,’ he said.

‘An additional wounded combatant was treated for his wounds and taken into custody for further questioning,’ Luedeke said.

#2  "Over the last year, Saydiyah has become one of the principal battlegrounds for the territorial war between Shi'a militias and Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) in Baghdad. Located in the western end of the Rashid Security District, Saydiyah was formerly a mixed neighborhood, with a Sunni majority.

Prior to the invasion in 2003, many officials in SaddamÂ’s government lived in the area, and following the outbreak of the war, it became a stronghold for the Sunni insurgency.

Although Al-Qaeda and other Sunni insurgent factions initially cooperated in Saydiyah, it appears that Al-Qaeda slowly pushed out the other Sunni groups, while simultaneously intensifying violence against the Shi'a residents of the neighborhood.

The reaction from Shi'a militias and Shi'a-dominated government security forces led to extraordinary violence during the summer of 2007."
