The incident came as coalition forces stepped-up raids in Iraq. US forces in Baghdad carried out a number of raids in neighbourhood of Azamiyah, searching 450 houses over seven hours in the hunt for weapons and fighters. The US also fired a satellite-guided missile for the first time since US President George Bush declared an end to major combat operations on 1 May.
