Channelnewsasia: Tanks, troops deploy in east Baghdad
BAGHDAD : Iraqi and US forces are preparing to launch a massive crackdown in Baghdad to end the sectarian carnage pushing Iraq toward civil war as at least another 30 people died in a surge of violence.
The sustained bloodshed came after nearly 200 people were killed over the weekend, mostly in the war-torn capital.
Iraqi soldiers and National Guard police were deployed on Baghdad's main eastern highway leading to the Shiite bastion of Sadr City, a repeated insurgent target, he said.
