BAGHDAD, May 21 (KUNA) -- Eleven Iraqis were killed and seven others were
injured during violence in several areas of the Iraqi capital on Wednesday.
A police source told KUNA that three IEDs exploded when a patrol for the
Multi-National Force (MNF) was passing by in the Obaidi area, leading to huge
damages to the MNF vehicle.
Then clashes erupted between masked gunmen and the Iraqi-US troops, said
the source, noting that several citizens were caught in the crossfire, leading
to the death of 11 citizens and the injury of three others.
