BAGHDAD, May 5 (UPI) -- Clashes flared between U.S. soldiers and Shiite rebels in Baghdad Sunday and Monday, killing 10 militants and 11 other people, officials said.

Three "Special Group criminals" were killed and one was injured late Sunday in the Sadr City area of Baghdad, while three militants died in fighting in Baghdad, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Steve Stover said.

Stover also said three rebels died and two civilians were injured in Baghdad's Amil district, CNN reported.

An Interior Ministry spokesman reported Monday that six people were killed and 41 were injured in clashes in Sadr City.

U.S. airstrikes killed five people and injured eight in an Amil apartment, an Interior Ministry official said.

One suspected militant was killed in a U.S. airstrike in the Kadhimiya district of northern Baghdad, U.S. officials said.
