Six Iraqis, 14 suspected insurgents killed in Iraq
Coalition forces backed by a helicopter and jets attacked a safe house being used by suspected foreign insurgents in Iraq, killing 12 militants and a woman, the US military said today.
The attack occurred yesterday in Youssifiyah, 12 miles south of Baghdad, an area near where a US Apache helicopter crashed, killing its two pilots, on April 1 in an apparent attack by militants. The militant al-Rashideen Army claimed responsibility for that attack, and Al-Jazeera TV aired footage provided by the insurgents which they claimed showed parts of the wreckage.
