Baghdad, Apr 19, (VOI) – Fourteen people were killed and more than 50 others, including women and children, wounded in clashes between gunmen and Iraqi security forces in the troubled eastern Baghdad district of Sadr City, a medic said on Saturday.
"The death toll of the clashes reached 14 while the wounded exceeded 50, including women and children," the medical source, speaking on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).
Sadr City has been witnessing sporadic clashes for more than three weeks now between Iraqi security forces and gunmen believed to belong to Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militias.
