Default 28 extremists killed in Baghdad's Sadr City

AP


BAGHDAD - The U.S. military says soldiers have killed 28 militants during a four-hour firefight in Baghdad's Shiite militia stronghold of Sadr City.

Lt. Col. Steve Stover, a U.S. military spokesman, says the clashes broke out after a U.S. patrol was attacked about 9:30 a.m. with rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.

He says six U.S. soldiers were wounded in Tuesday's fighting but their injuries were not life-threatening.
