An Iraqi family mourns over the coffin of a relative killed during a US military air strike in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City, 08 August 2007.
Sadr City residents on Wednesday buried the dead of last night's US raid on the neighborhood. The US reported killing 30 "terrorists" and detaining 12 "suspected terrorists" during operations overnight, though local officials are reporting that civilians are among the dead. Whether civilian or otherwise, the only thing that is certain is that many residents of Sadr City are enraged and grief-stricken over the action. Such discontent does not bode well for Baghdad's stability.
