Baghdad : U.S. troops clashed with unknown gunmen during an overnight raid on parts of the sprawling Shiite bastion of Sadr City neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, wounding three people, a well-informed police source said Thursday.
The U.S. troops cordoned off parts of the neighborhood from 3:00 a.m.(0000 GMT) local time until dawn and clashed with militants, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Three civilians, including a child and a woman, were wounded in the clash, the source said, adding that there were no reports on casualties among the U.S. soldiers or the militants.
The U.S. military did not confirm the incident yet.
