US GIs in Iraq Suffer Worst Week of '08

BAGHDAD (AP) --

A roadside bomb killed an American soldier in Baghdad on Saturday,
capping the bloodiest week for U.S. troops in Iraq this year.

Clashes persisted in Shiite areas, even as the biggest Shiite militia
sought to rein in its fighters.

At least 13 Shiite militants were killed in the latest clashes in
Baghdad's militia stronghold of Sadr City, the U.S. military said.

Iraqi police said seven civilians also died in fighting, which erupted
Friday night and tapered off Saturday.
