US RAID IN BAGHDAD KILLS 30

The US military has claimed to have killed 30 militants during a raid and subsequent airstrike on the Sadr City district of Baghdad. The Pentagon issued a statement saying the US forces targeted Shiite militants with ties to Iran and that no civilians were killed. The statement contradicts witnesses interviewed by the Associated Press who say at least 9 civilians were killed in today's attack. The Sadr City raid comes on the eve of a major holiday expected to draw hundreds of thousands of Shiite pilgrims to Baghdad.
