10 Shiite insurgents killed in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- U.S. forces killed 10 Shiite militia members early Sunday during heavy fighting in Baghdad, Interior Ministry officials said.

The fighting began after U.S. forces arrested several members of the Mehdi Army for guerrilla activities -- the army is a militia loyal to the renegade cleric Moqtada al Sadr -- the New York Times reported.

Elsewhere in Baghdad, ITN reported a suicide bomber drove into a convoy of Iraqi special forces from the elite Wolf Brigade. Thirteen officers were killed an 10 others wounded, the report said.

Later, gunmen killed two security guards as they were on their way to deposit money at a western Baghdad bank. They stole $850,000 from two Ministry of Finance Cars, police said.

1. Wasn't there some sort of truce between the US and al Sadr's militia?
I guess this means the truce is over. They must have heard about the Brits being caught in a false flag operation, and what that implies about who the "terrorists" targeting Shiites are.
