U.S. Soldiers Attack Targets in Najaf
AP reports, "Backed by helicopters, American tanks charged into the center of this holy city on Friday and shelled positions held by fighters loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who condemned the United States and its chief coalition partner, Britain, in a sermon at a nearby city. The Shrine of Imam Ali, one of the most sacred sites for Shiite Muslims, was slightly damaged in the fighting."
