BAGHDAD (AFP) — Clashes between Shiite gunmen and Iraqi and US troops in Baghdad's Sadr City have killed at least 75 people and wounded nearly 500 over the past four days, an Iraqi health official said on Saturday.
"Seventy-five people have been killed and 498 wounded in clashes in Sadr City in the last four days," Qassim Mohammed, a spokesman for Baghdad health directorate, told reporters in the sprawling Shiite bastion on Saturday.
Mohammed also accused the US forces of "creating obstacles" in transporting victims of the violence outside Sadr City.
"They are preventing even international aid workers to help the wounded," he said during a visit to Sadr City's Imam Ali hospital.
