U.S. Says It Kills Many Iraqis in Najaf Battle

NEAR NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. commanders said on Wednesday their troops had killed large numbers of Iraqis in an overnight battle south of Baghdad, although reports of hundreds of Iraqi deaths could not be independently confirmed.


Reuters correspondent Luke Baker, with U.S. forces near Najaf 100 miles south of the capital, said officers in the field reported a furious two-hour battle between American tanks and Iraqi fighters with rocket-propelled grenades.


A dozen or more U.S. tanks became stranded on the far side of a river after Iraqis blew up a bridge they had crossed. More U.S. tanks were sent in to help. The fighting was largely over by about 10 p.m. (2 p.m. EST), U.S. officers near Najaf said.


Commanders on the ground gave no information on casualties on either side beyond saying that they expected the Iraqi death toll to be "very high."


A correspondent for Britain's Sky television said a senior U.S. officer near Najaf told him the Iraqi death toll could be 650 among thousands of infantry forces facing the Americans.


If confirmed, it would be by far the bloodiest encounter in six days of fighting -- though it appeared that it would be hard to make an accurate body count in the sandstorm affecting the area throughout the night and into the morning.


In Washington, the Pentagon (news - web sites) said 150 to 300 Iraqis might have been killed when they attacked tanks of the U.S. Seventh Cavalry near Najaf: "Apparently ground forces tried to hit some of our guys with rocket propelled grenades," an official said.


"They did damage a couple of pieces of our gear but we've had no reports of casualties on our side," the official said.


A CNN correspondent with the 7th Cavalry quoted U.S. officers in the field saying Iraqis using wire-guided missiles from the back of pick-up trucks had knocked out two M1-A1 Abrams tanks, some of the Americans' most advanced battle hardware.


"Apparently there are some reports that we may have killed quite a few of them," the Pentagon official said.


"Estimates differ. Some say 200-300. Some say 150," the official said. Some reports had suggested as many as 500 Iraqis had been killed, the official added.快报:昨夜美三师被袭,美军近二十辆坦克中了埋伏,美军没有提供双方损失数字

12辆或者更多的美军坦克被困在了一条河的对岸,因为他们追击伊拉克人时通过的一座桥被炸断了。美军出动了大批坦克去支援他们。战斗在当地时间晚上10点基本结束。

可惜伊拉克人火力太弱,装备太差。这次战术应该是很成功的,不过好像没搞掉多少美国人的坦克:(
昨天晚上我还在想,如果伊拉克不乘沙尘暴袭击美军,那伊拉克就真的是在等死了。
