Maliki slams US-aided atack on Shiite militia stronghold
Iraq’s prime minister sharply criticised a US-Iraqi attack on a Shiite militia stronghold in Baghdad, exposing a rift with his American partners on security tactics, as 24 people were killed today in a series of bombings and shooting.
An American soldier died of wounds sustained in fighting, the US military said today. Nine bullet-riddled bodies were found late yesterday south of Baghdad, police said.
