Fighting erupts in Sadr City after Sadr aide killed - The Long War Journal: "The Iraqi government had planned on lifting the curfew in Sadr City on April 12, but the recent fighting and the murder of Sadr’s brother-in-law has put the plan on hold.

Mahdi Army forces rose up after the Iraqi government started the assault on Basrah on March 25 to clear the city of the Mahdi Army and other Iranian-backed Shia militias. Sadr called for his forces to leave the streets on March 30 just as Iraqi Army and police reinforcements began to arrive in Basrah.

US and Iraqi forces killed 173 Mahdi Army fighters in Baghdad alone during the six days of fighting from March 25-30. The fighting has not abated in Sadr City and other Mahdi Army dominated neighborhoods in northern and eastern Baghdad."
