Baghdad: Iraqi troops raided Baghdad’s Sadr City on Friday, killing one of the guards of Shiite cleric Muqtada Al Sadr.
Ali Al Moussawi, a spokesman for Al Sadr's office, said troops entered Sadr City as worshippers headed to dawn prayers at a mosque.
The soldiers opened fire on a guard and one of Al Sadr's offices when he tried to escape arrest Friday.
Al Moussawi said the guard was wounded and died near his home. Another guard was arrested.
