http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20070109-072108-5819r Sunnis pitch fierce battle in Baghdad BAGHDAD, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Fierce fighting was reported Tuesday in Baghdad between Sunni Muslim insurgents and Iraqi forces backed by U.S. troops and air assaults. The fighting flared soon after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced a new security plan for the city, the BBC reported. Violence began Saturday when bodies were found dumped in a cemetery. The area was sealed and joint Iraqi-U.S. teams went door-to-door making 11 arrests, including seven Syrian nationals, an Interior Ministry spokesman said. The Iraqi army said nine of its troops and 23 insurgents were killed Tuesday, while U.S. military sources said between 30 and 50 insurgents had been killed and wounded, CNN reported. Northeast of Baghdad, Kuwait's KUNA news agency reported insurgents clashed with Iraqi and U.S. troops at a mosque in Baquba. A U.S. Army statement said a mission was staged to arrest a militant cell leader involved in "abducting and killing Iraqi civilians in the Al-Tahreer area in Baquba, Diyala's biggest city." Three militants were killed, the report said. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
