Iraqi forces storm settlement of Iranian exiles
None
Iraqi forces stormed a settlement of Iranian exiles early Friday near the two nations' border that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has long sought to expel. Both sides reported casualties in the latest round of clashes at the camp that has become a point of contention between the Iraqi government and some of its fiercest opponents.
The exiles said as many as 28 residents at Camp Ashraf in Iraq's northeastern Diyala province were killed; top Iraqi government officials vehemently denied any fatalities. (AP)
