Apaches swoop on Shia militiamen
US helicopter gunships have been firing at targets in a Shia Muslim district of Baghdad on the second day of a revolt across Iraq by a religious militia.

Supporters of radical cleric Moqtada Sadr have been involved in violent protests against the US-led coalition.

The coalition accuses Mr Sadr of trying to usurp its power and says the revolt will not be tolerated.

US troops also began an offensive in Falluja, a Sunni town where four Americans were killed and mutilated.
