U.S. forces clash with Shia militia

(01:28) Report

Apr. 6 - Baghdad suffers its worst violence since Shi'ite cleric Moqtadad al-Sadr called his fighters off the streets a week ago.

More than 20 people were killed in the latest clashes. The bloodshed in Sadr's Baghdad stronghold, the Shi'ite slum of Sadr City, follows a week of relative calm after a crackdown by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Sadr's followers led to battles across the capital and the south late last month.
