Fighting With Suspected Militiamen Leaves 30 Dead

At least 12 Iraqi policemen are dead in a new round of fighting with suspected militiamen. The trouble broke out in a town outside Baghdad. Local authorities say 18 gunmen were also killed.

They're believed to be part of a militia controlled by an anti-American cleric in Iraq.

Many minority Sunni Arabs have fled their homes in that town as militiamen pour in. The same fighters killed numerous Sunnis in a nearby city last week.
