US says 38 suspected insurgents killed in Baghdad fighting

BAGHDAD - US forces killed 38 suspected insurgents and wounded nine in fighting in northern Baghdad that lasted nearly an hour-and-a-half on Sunday, the US military said on Wednesday.

In a statement describing the fighting, which occurred on the same day Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death, it said US forces were attacked by rifle fire and rocket-propelled grenades from both north and south of a US base.

The military said there were no US casualties but one Humvee vehicle was damaged.

“The ... soldiers immediately responded to their attackers, killing 38 and wounding nine in a nearly 1.5 hour-long battle with the terrorists,” the military said.
