U S forces launch major Najaf assault amid clashes
U S led troops raided militiamen hideouts in several cities and clashed in Najaf as 15 Iraqis and one American were killed. Shiite leaders urged Muqtada al-Sadr to disarm and end the stand‑off while authorities vow to press the push to eliminate al Sadr's militia. The Abu Ghraib prison chief promised access for the Red Cross and ministries and apologized for abuse by a small number of soldiers.
