Fighting continues in Iraq:
U.S. forces stormed one of the homes of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s in Najaf, FOX News confirmed Thursday.
The operation came after troops raided several militia strongholds, including a private hospital and a maternity hospital. Militiamen loyal to al-Sadr fired on U.S. forces as they made their way to the cleric’s home, according to a FOX producer on the ground. Marines were securing the area and there were casualties reported on the side of coalition forces.
U.S. commanders said they believe al-Sadr is holed up in the Imam Ali Shrine (search), one mile away.
Re-read that last line. Can you say “war crime”?
I knew you could.
