U.S. and Iraqi troops raided Baghdad’s largest Shiite slum early Thursday and arrested 16 people, American and Iraqi officials and witnesses said. The U.S. military said one of the detainees later died. In Sadr City, the U.S. said it was targeting “criminal elements” responsible for attacks on U.S. and Iraqi troops. The U.S. military also said a U.S. soldier died in Western Baghdad.
