Coalition forces killed 10 insurgents and an Iraqi civilian in three simultaneous raids north of Baghdad on Saturday and destroyed a factory used to make roadside bombs, the U.S. military said. The civilian was a teenager fatally wounded in the fighting in the city of Taji, the site of a major U.S. air base. A pregnant woman also was hurt. Coalition forces called in U.S. aircraft to destroy the factory after discovering rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, anti-aircraft weapons and pipe bombs hidden there, the military said. "Coalition forces strive to mitigate risks to civilians while in pursuit of terrorists. It is always a shame when terrorists hide among civilian women and children, putting them in harm's way," the military said in its statement. On Friday, revenge-seeking Shiite militiamen seized six Sunnis as they left prayers, drenched them with kerosene and burned them alive, and Iraqi soldiers did nothing to stop the attack, the Associated Press quoted police and witnesses as saying.
