U.S. military Shoots Dead 11 in Iraq

21 May 2008

The U.S. military said its troops shot dead 11 alleged militants in the Obaidi district close to Sadr City on Wednesday, but police and several residents said that at least some of the dead were civilians killed by U.S. snipers.

The U.S. military made said accusations that all those killed were members of "special groups," for rogue units of Sadr's Mehdi Army militia accused of receiving funding and training from Iran.

Iran must have an excessive amount of funding, because anyone that the U.S. does not seem to like always appears to be getting funding from Iran or other same old innuendos.
