In Baghdad, sounds of heavy gunfire and explosions rattled the Sadr City district about 1 a.m. Monday and persisted for more than an hour. Iraqi government television and aides to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said U.S. aircraft attacked buildings in the area.

“We condemn this cowardly, terrorist attack conducted by the U.S. forces in Sadr City,” said Falah Shanshal, a lawmaker aligned to al-Sadr. “We demand the government take necessary measures to stop such unjustified aggression and we demand an investigation.”

Col. Hassan Chaloub, police chief of Sadr City, said three people including a woman and a 3-year-old girl were killed and 12 injured in the fighting. He said three cars and three houses also were destroyed.

The U.S. military said the fighting started when Iraqi and U.S. forces raided the area to catch extremists suspected of running torture cells. The forces took fire as soon as they arrived and one U.S. soldier was injured, the statement said.
