Ten militiamen loyal to Iraq’s radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr have been killed in clashes with US forces in Baghdad overnight, Iraqi officials say. It is the first such fighting since a rebellion by supporters of the cleric ended more than a year ago.

The US military confirmed it had fought “anti-Iraqi forces” in eastern Baghdad.
