Battles between Shiite fighters and US forces in Iraq's militia stronghold of Sadr City killed 15 people and wounded dozens more on Friday night.

A US military statement said 11 Shiite militants were killed when they fired at American soldiers from the ground and roof-tops in Sadr City.

The rebels were later despatched in an ensuing firefight and missile attack.

Since March 25th, US and Iraqi forces have been battling militants, mostly from anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia, in the slum district of some two million people.
