U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces were fighting to retake a police station overrun by insurgents in the northern city of Mosul, a U.S. military spokeswoman said on Sunday. U.S. and Iraqi forces have been fighting for more than two hours to recapture the Sheikh Fatih station in the city's southwest from militants, Captain Angela Bowman said. Two U.S. soldiers were also wounded in sporadic fighting in the nearby town of Tal Afar, where insurgents had attacked a police academy with small arms, she said. Bowman said Mosul remained "relatively calm" on Sunday despite the attack on the police station, and said its governor remained confident the city was under his control.
