Sadr aide says Iraqis capture coalition soldiers
BEIRUT, April 7 (Reuters) - A top aide to the militant Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said on Wednesday that his supporters had captured a number of soldiers from the U.S.-led coalition during clashes currently taking place across a large swathe of Iraq. "Some tribes have captured some occupation forces on the streets," Qays al-Khazali told a news conference in the Shi'ite Muslim holy city of Najaf. He gave no further details. The news conference was broadcast by Lebanon's al-Manar television station, mouthpiece of the Hizbollah group. There was no immediate comment on the report from the command of U.S.-led forces in Baghdad.
