U.S. forces drawn deeper into Iraq crackdown
By Aref MohammedBASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. forces were drawn deeper into Iraq's four-day-old crackdown on Shi'ite militants on Friday, launching air strikes in Basra for the first time and battling militants in Baghdad in heavy clashes.

The fighting has exposed a rift within the majority Shi'ite community and put pressure on Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, whose forces have failed to drive fighters loyal to cleric Moqtada al-Sadr off the streets.

Authorities shut down Baghdad with a strict curfew, but that did not halt rocket attacks and clashes in the capital.

U.S. helicopters repeatedly fired into Baghdad's Sadr City slum and other Shi'ite areas where fighters are holed up.

"There have been engagements going on in and around Sadr City. We've engaged the enemy with artillery, we've engaged the enemy with aircraft, we've engaged the enemy with direct fire," said Major Mark Cheadle, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Baghdad.

In Iraq's second-biggest city Basra where he launched the crackdown on Tuesday, Maliki extended a 72 hours deadline he had given militants to surrender, saying they had until April 8 to turn in their weapons for cash.

But Sadr's Mehdi Army fighters remained defiant.

"We will fight on and never give up our weapons," Mehdi Army deputy military commander in Basra Abu Hassan al-Daraji told Reuters by telephone. "We will not turn over a single bullet."
Defence Minister Abdel Qader Jassim said his forces in Basra had been caught off-guard by their foes.

"We supposed that this operation would be a normal operation, but we were surprised by this resistance and have been obliged to change our plans and our tactics," he told a news conference in Basra. In a sign of the worsening situation, reporters were brought to the briefing in military vehicles and kept inside for hours afterwards as fighting raged nearby.

Parliament called an emergency meeting, but just 54 members of the 275-seat body attended the session inside the fortified "Green Zone" government and diplomatic compound, which was bombarded by rockets as they gathered.

One missile hit the Green Zone office of Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, killing a security guard. The U.S. embassy ordered staff in the zone to stay under cover where possible and wear body armour and helmets when in the open.

The government says it is fighting "outlaws", but Sadr's followers say political parties in Maliki's Shi'ite-led government are using military force to marginalise their rivals ahead of local elections due by October.

GUNMEN HOLD STREETS

Reuters television footage from Basra showed masked gunmen from Sadr's Mehdi Army still in control of the streets, openly carrying rocket launchers and machine guns.

The Iraqi ground commander in Basra, Major-General Ali Zaidan, told Reuters his forces had killed 120 "enemy" fighters and wounded around 450 since the campaign began on Tuesday.

A British military spokesman said U.S. warplanes opened fire in Basra for the first time, dropping bombs under guidance of U.S. or British controllers operating with Iraqis on the ground.
British ground troops who patrolled Basra until December have so far remained on a base outside the city.
The fighting has trapped Basra residents in their homes, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis. The United Nations said it was standing by with blood bags, trauma kits, 200 tonnes of emergency food and 39 million water purification tablets.

The clashes have all but wrecked a truce Sadr declared last year, which Washington had said helped curb violence.
Sadr, who helped install Maliki in power after an election in 2005 but later broke with him, has called for talks. But Maliki has vowed to battle on with no negotiations.

President Jalal Talabani called for a summit of political party leaders to resolve the standoff.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari, in Damascus to attend an Arab summit, said: "It was a long overdue confrontation in my view and the government has taken a decision to defeat them and it is irreversible."

U.S. President George W. Bush said the clashes were a sign that Maliki's government was willing to confront "criminal elements or people who think they can live outside the law."

A Reuters witness said Mehdi Army gunmen had seized control of the southern city of Nassiriya. A hospital source said 15 people had been killed and 50 wounded in clashes in the town.

Mehdi Army fighters have also held territory or fought with authorities in Kut, Hilla, Amara, Kerbala, Diwaniya and other towns throughout the Shi'ite south over the past several days.

In Baghdad there have been clashes in at least 13 mainly Shi'ite neighbourhoods, especially Sadr City, the vast slum named for the cleric's slain father and his main power base.

Maliki's office said the prime minister had issued orders to his commanders to pursue fighters in the capital with "no mercy", to hold no negotiations with "criminal groups", and treat anyone who violates the curfew as an outlaw.

In one strike before dawn, a U.S. helicopter fired a hellfire missile at gunmen firing from the roof of a building, killing four of them, Cheadle said. A Reuters photographer there filmed windows blown out of cars and walls pocked with shrapnel.

Later in the day cars were engulfed in flames after an apparent air strike on a Sadr City parking lot. Police said another U.S. air strike in Kadhimiya, a Sadr stronghold in northern Baghdad, killed five people, and air strikes in Sadr City later in the afternoon killed 12.

U.S. forces said they killed 27 fighters in the capital on Thursday and 13 more on Friday.

Death toll mounts in Baghdad fighting
By Peter GraffBAGHDAD (Reuters) - The death toll mounted on Saturday in fighting in Baghdad where U.S. forces have been drawn deeper into an Iraqi government crackdown on militants loyal to Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

A top Sadr aide said Sadr's representatives had met Iraq's highest Shi'ite religious authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in an effort to end the violence. The Sadr aide, Salah al-Ubaidi, said Sistani called for a peaceful solution.

At least 75 people have been killed and more than 450 wounded in days of clashes and U.S. air strikes in Sadr City, a vast slum of about 2 million people, said Qassim Mohammed, spokesman for the health directorate for eastern Baghdad.

Health workers say the slum's two hospitals are overflowing and understaffed, and a ring of Iraqi and U.S. forces around Sadr City makes it impossible to evacuate the wounded.

More than 200 people have been reported killed and many hundreds wounded in the five days of fighting across southern Iraq and Baghdad since Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki launched a crackdown on Sadr's followers in the southern city of Basra.

Maliki has announced he will fight the militants in Basra "until the end". He issued orders to his commanders in Baghdad to pursue militants in the capital with "no mercy".

Washington says the crackdown is a sign the Iraqi government is serious about imposing its will and capable of acting on its own. But so far government forces have failed to drive Sadr's fighters from the streets.

U.S. forces described a number of gun battles in Baghdad including one in which they said they killed 10 gunmen who attacked a joint U.S.-Iraqi security station. The Americans have used helicopter gunships and artillery.
Mortar bombs and rockets have caused havoc in the capital all week. Strikes on the fortified Green Zone government and diplomatic compound forced the U.S. embassy to order staff to wear helmets and body armour.

A curfew is in place in Baghdad, closing shops, businesses and schools. Residents are confined to their homes in areas where there has been fighting.

RIFT

The conflict exposes a deep rift within Iraq's majority Shi'ite community, between the political parties in Maliki's government who control the security forces and Sadr's followers who in many areas rule the streets.

Sistani almost never intervenes in politics. His views, if made public, would carry authority among Shi'ites in Sadr's movement and in the political parties that support Maliki.

A spokesman for Sistani in Beirut declined to comment on the reported meeting with Sadr's representatives.
In Basra, where the main fighting has raged for days, witnesses said warplanes from the U.S.-British coalition had bombed for a second straight day.

The air strikes require U.S. or British teams on the ground to direct them, indications that Western involvement has been growing in what so far has been an Iraqi-led operation.
A main British force of 4,100 troops, which pulled out of Basra in December, has remained on a base outside it and British officials have said they have no plans to retake the city.

Iraqi commanders say they have killed 120 fighters. Reuters television pictures from Basra show masked gunmen from Sadr's Mehdi Army walking openly in the streets, firing mortars and brandishing rifles, machine guns and rocket launchers.
Maliki, who had initially given them 72 hours to surrender, extended the deadline until April 8 for the fighters to turn over weapons in return for cash. They remained defiant.

"We will fight on and never give up our weapons," Mehdi Army deputy military commander in Basra Abu Hassan al-Daraji told Reuters by telephone. "We will not turn over a single bullet."

Fighting has spread to other towns across the south.

Clashes were under way on the western outskirts of Kerbala, one of Shi'ite Islam's holiest cities. The Iraqi commander in the province, Major-General Raad Jawdat, said his forces had killed 21 "outlaws" and arrested 50 others.

Hundreds of demonstrators turned out to protest against fighting in Nassiriya, a Reuters witness said. Mehdi Army fighters had seized the main streets on Friday and 15 people were killed in clashes, police said.

Among other cities that have been hit by clashes are Kut, Hilla, Amara and Kerbala.

230 maut pertempuran di Baghdad, Basra

BAGHDAD: Pertempuran antara militia Syiah dengan tentera Iraq serta Amerika Syarikat di Kota Sadr mengorbankan sekurang-kurangnya 230 orang dan mencederakan hampir 500 lagi sejak empat hari lalu.

Korban termasuk lapan orang awam, dua daripadanya wanita dan seorang kanak-kanak selepas sebuah pesawat pejuang Amerika Syarikat membedil sebuah rumah di Basra, semalam.

Malah, jurucakap bagi direktorat kesihatan Baghdad, Qassim Mohammed, ketika ditemui wartawan di kubu Syiah itu juga menuduh tentera Amerika 'mewujudkan halangan' dalam mengangkut mangsa keganasan keluar dari bandar raya itu.

"Mereka menghalang pekerja bantuan antarabangsa dari membantu mangsa yang cedera," katanya ketika melawat hospital Imam Ali di Kota Sadr, kubu Tentera Mahdi pimpinan ulama radikal Syiah, Muqtada al-Sadr.

Pergerakan itu terbabit dalam pertempuran sengit dengan pasukan keselamatan Iraq sejak beberapa hari lalu.

Pertempuran meletus di kawasan kejiranan itu selepas Perdana Menteri Iraq, Nuri al-Maliki melancarkan operasi ke atas pejuang Syiah di Basra Selasa lalu.

Residents in Iraq's Basra fear worse violence
By Aref Mohammed
BASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - Cleaning up their shops and venturing out onto the streets after a week of bloody clashes, Iraqis in the southern city of Basra said on Wednesday they feared worse violence was to come.

Basra, Iraq's oil hub, has been relatively calm for the past three days since Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr ordered fighters from his Mehdi Army militia off the streets after they fought pitched battles with Iraqi security forces.

But Sadr has rebuffed an order by Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for the Mehdi Army to hand over its weapons and many fear more violence, especially in the lead-up to provincial elections due by October.

"I think these battles will continue and in an even fiercer way as things are not finished yet," said Nadhum Jameel, a 51-year-old government employee.

"The militias are still powerful. Maliki achieved nothing and didn't succeed in disarming them."
The Interior Ministry has said 210 people were killed and 600 wounded in Basra during the fighting, which exposed a deep rift between parties in the government and followers of the populist cleric Sadr, who supported Maliki's rise to power in 2006 but withdrew his support a year later.

Shi'ite parties and militias and have been jockeying for power in Basra for years in a battle that is expected to escalate before the provincial elections.

"The situation is calm but (security) operations are still going on and I think it will ignite again. I am thinking of leaving the city," said Zuhair Abdullah, 34, a metal worker.

Added Aymen Nuri, 32, a shopowner: "This situation could explode at any time because the issue is political."

Sadrists, who boycotted provincial elections in 2005, are vying for control of the mainly Shi'ite, oil-producing south with its powerful rival, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council.

The Council is the biggest Shi'ite party in government and an ally of Maliki's Dawa party. Another player is the smaller Fadhila party, which controls the local oil industry.

Sadrists have accused Maliki and the Supreme Council of trying to weaken them ahead of the elections in which they are expected to make big gains at the expense of the Council, which controls many local authorities in the south.
The government has said the crackdown was an attempt to assert state authority in a lawless city.

Many people in Basra expressed outrage at the damage done to their property during the fighting.

"They fought each other and we were the victims," said Ahmed Kareem, as he cleaned up smashed glass from his car parts shop in central Basra.

Sadr announced the surprise ceasefire after talks behind the scenes with parties in Maliki's government.
As part of the deal, Sadr's aides say, authorities are to end roundups of his followers and implement an amnesty to free prisoners.

Sadrists have complained they have not benefited from the new amnesty law passed by parliament in February.
Among the gloom of most residents, some were more positive.

"I think it is the beginning of a change. It will end up with the capture and killing of all the gangsters," said Nazeeha Awwad, a 48-year-old housewife.

"Things are moving in the right direction."

Baghdad anniversary clampdown fails to stop violence
By Ahmed Rasheed and Wisam Mohammed
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - At least a dozen people were killed in Baghdad's Shi'ite slum of Sadr City on Wednesday, despite vehicle bans aimed at preventing unrest from spreading on the fifth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad.

Police said six people died in clashes overnight, and an explosion in the morning hit a funeral in the slum, killing six more and wounding 14 people.

Dr Qasim al-Mudalla told Reuters 11 bodies and 54 wounded had been brought to the Imam Ali hospital he manages in Sadr City, where U.S. and Iraqi forces have battled militia loyal to cleric Moqtada al-Sadr since Sunday. The dead included four children and two women, he said.

"What are they doing? The floor of the hospital is covered with the blood of children. What is the world doing? They have seen the blood of our children and are doing nothing," he said.

Other parts of Baghdad were quiet, with streets clear of traffic because of a one-day vehicle ban in the capital for the anniversary. Shops, government offices, schools and universities were shut as a result. Residents were allowed out only on foot.

Sadr had called a mass demonstration against the United States for the anniversary, but postponed it saying he feared for his followers' safety.

Many Iraqis spoke bitterly about the anniversary of the day U.S. troops rolled into the capital, deposing Saddam Hussein.

Retired army officer Salim Hussein said the past five years had yielded nothing but "blood, bombs, curfews and in-fighting".

"The government is totally incapable of providing security," he said, walking near the square where U.S. forces toppled Saddam's statue on April 9, 2003.

President Jalal Talabani, however, hailed the anniversary in a televised address as a day to be celebrated.
"April 9 will enter history as the day the most arrogant dictatorship Mesopotamia has ever witnessed was deposed, the fall of a political regime that ... left behind mass graves that contained hundred thousands of innocents," he said.

U.S. DEATHS

Sadr City has been the focus this week of clashes between Sadr's Mehdi Army and U.S. and Iraqi government troops, after the government launched a crackdown on the militia last month in the southern city of Basra.

U.S. forces announced two more soldiers' deaths, raising the toll to 13 since an upsurge of fighting began on Sunday.
Military spokesman Major Mark Cheadle said U.S. forces had launched an airstrike from a drone, firing a missile that killed two gunmen in Sadr City before dawn.

The Iraqi parliament's Human Rights Committee warned in a statement of a "tragic situation" in the slum, where food and medicine are running short after a two-week blockade.

Rockets or mortars, which U.S. forces say are mainly fired from Sadr City, hit the Green Zone compound in the city centre, but the U.S. embassy said there were no reports of injuries.

Vehicle bans were also imposed in Samarra and Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown. In Falluja, where members of Saddam's Sunni Arab minority rose up twice against U.S. forces in 2004, several hundred protesters marched calling for American forces to leave.

The top two U.S. officials in Iraq were due to appear later on Wednesday at a second day of congressional hearings in Washington, which have given the U.S. presidential candidates a chance to express their opposing views on the conflict.

Military commander General David Petraeus and ambassador Ryan Crocker told members of Congress that Iraq had made progress over the past year, but the improvements were fragile.

Petraeus advised against committing to a timetable to reduce troops after forces sent last year return home in July.
His testimony suggests more than 100,000 U.S. troops will still be in Iraq when the next U.S. president succeeds George W. Bush in January. Bush is to make a speech on Iraq on Thursday.

Republican Senator John McCain opposes a timetable for withdrawal. The two Democratic candidates, senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, both want one to be set.

Tens of thousands of Iraqis and more than 4,000 U.S. troops have died in the five-year war. Two million Iraqis have fled the country and about as many are displaced within Iraq.

For 10-year-old Ammar Karim, taking advantage of the vehicle ban to play soccer with other boys in the middle of central Baghdad's normally traffic-clogged Karrada Street, the anniversary had a simpler meaning: a chance to play.

"I like this government because we have a lot of curfews. It is the only time we can go out and play football. I wish we could have curfews all the time, because otherwise my family keeps me locked in the house."

20 penduduk Iraq maut di Sadr City

BAGHDAD 12 April - Sekurang-kurangnya 20 termasuk 13 pejuang Syiah terbunuh dalam satu pertempuran dengan tentera Amerika Syarikat (AS) berhampiran bandar yang dikuasai oleh kumpulan Tentera Mahdi di Sadr City, malam tadi.

Menurut polis, tujuh penduduk awam terkorban dalam pertempuran tersebut.

Tindakan pejuang ini dilihat bertentangan dengan arahan pemimpin tertinggi mereka, Moqtada as-Sadr yang telah mengarahkan agar para pejuangnya "bertenang" berikutan pembunuhan seorang pemimpin kanan mereka, Riyadh al-Nouri.

Riyadh, Pengarah Operasi Tentera Mahdi di Najaf, terbunuh sewaktu diserang hendap oleh penembak yang disyaki sebagai tentera AS semalam ketika dalam perjalanan pulang dari solat Jumaat.

Moqtada menyalahkan tentera AS dalam insiden tersebut namun beliau meminta agar penyokongnya bertenang.

Perintah darurat telah dikuatkuasakan di Najaf sebelum ini bagi mengelakkan pertempuran dengan pengikut Moqtada tetapi telah ditarik balik oleh pihak berkuasa hari ini.

50 killed in Iraq suicide bombing
by SINAN SALAHEDDIN, Associated Press Writer




The blast was the latest attack in Iraq's Sunni areas after a period of relative calm that was broken this week, raising concerns that Sunni insurgents are reorganizing.

Over the past months, violence has dropped with the increase in U.S. troops and the growth of so-called Awakening Councils, groups of Sunni tribesmen who joined American forces in fighting al-Qaida-linked militants.

Thursday's attack took place in the town of Albu Mohammed, 90 miles north of Baghdad, during the funeral of two brothers who belonged to the local Awakening Council. The brothers were slain a day earlier, police said.

The suicide bomber walked into a tent crowded with mourners in the village and detonated explosives strapped to his body, police in the nearby city of Kirkuk said.

One witness, Sheik Omar al-Azawi, was just pulling up at the tent in his car when the blast went off.

"I first heard a thunderous explosion and when I turned my eyes to the tent I saw fire and smoke coming out," al-Azawi, 51, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

"Panicked people were jumping and running in all sides and then we started to evacuate those who were killed and wounded in our private cars until police and medical teams arrived," he said.

At least 50 people were killed and 20 in the blast, the police officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media. The blast was the single deadliest attack since March 6, when a bombing in central Baghdad killed 68.

Thursday's attack came on the heels of a string of suicide attacks on Tuesday that killed 60 people in four major cities in central and northern Iraq.

The U.S. military has touted the relative calm in Sunni areas as a major success of the troop surge and the strategy of encouraging Awakening Councils and other Sunnis
