| Description | At least five Iraqis have been killed and a British soldier wounded after a firefight broke out between Mahdi Army fighters and British soldiers in the southern town of Amara, police said.
"Five people were killed, including one woman, and 15 were wounded," said Lieutenant Ali Aziz of the Amara police, adding that the armed men were members of the militia of Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr.
British military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Eaton confirmed there was a clash but declined to speculate on the identity of the attackers or the number of casualties. |
