Authorities said the death toll from the blast - that also set fire to two nearby cars, could rise. The explosion came as joint Iraqi-US forces raided the Shiite slum of Sadr city - a stronghold of Mahdi army, militias of the anti-America Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, as part of the ongoing security crackdown in Baghdad. Police said at least 10 people were arrested in the raid where extensive damage was done to a house. It is not clear whether the damage was caused exclusively by the raid. Meanwhile, gunfire rang through the deserted streets of Azamiyah - a predominantly Sunni neighbourhood in northern Baghdad. Plumes of smoke could be seen rising from buildings, apparently from clashes that erupted between insurgents and joint Iraqi-U.S. troops on Monday afternoon. No casualties were reported. A wave of mortar rounds rained down in the Sunni populated area of A'dil, in western Baghdad wounding 4 people on Monday, police said. Amidst the violence, US and Iraqi troops continued with it's Operation Law and Order plan to reduce sectarian violence in Baghdad and it's outer lying areas. Iraqi troops were seen manning a checkpoint in western suburbs of the capital of Baghdad, where they frequently stopped and searched both vehicles and drivers. The two week-long security crackdown has established new checkpoints across a city of six (m) million people. Thousands of US and Iraqi troops have been conducting house to house searches, looking for weapons caches and improvised explosive device (IED) workshops. Us President George W. Bush has committed 21,500 more Americans to the operation, which is expected to involve a total of 90-thousand Iraqi and US soldiers.
