STORYLINE

Clashes between security forces and Shiite militiamen in Baghdad's eastern Sadr City district killed two people and injured 18, Iraqi police said on Wednesday, as humanitarian aid finally reached families in the area.

Police said those injured in gunbattles on Tuesday included three women and three children.

Sadr City is a sprawling, impoverished Shiite, district of the capital, some 2.5 million Shiites live there, and a stronghold of the Mahdi Army militia of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because was is not authorised to speak to the media, said sporadic shooting was still going on and it was too dangerous to venture out on the streets.

AP Television footage on Wednesday showed smoke rising over buildings and injured people being treated in hospital.

The Iraqi Red Crescent Society on Wednesday also handed over humanitarian aid to the families affected by the ongoing clashes between the Mahdi Army and US and Iraqi troops.
