The Battle of Diwaniya took place on August 28, 2006 between the Mahdi Army and the Iraqi Army. The fighting erupted after coalition troops arrested a Sadr militia leader. The militia engaged in heavy street fighting with Iraqi soldiers which lasted late into the night. Militia fighters were entrenched in residential areas during the fighting. It is believed that most of the Iraqi Army casualties occurred when the soldiers ran out of ammunition. After that they were captured and executed. By next morning a ceasefire was in place with 23 Iraqi soldiers, 20 militiamen and 7 civilians killed. About a month and a half later on October 9, 2006 another battle broke out in the city, this time between the militia and the U.S. Army killing 30 militiamen and severely damaging a U.S. military tank.[1] August 28 is the 240th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (241st in leap years), with 125 days remaining. ...
