BAGHDAD - More than 50 insurgents were killed and a pregnant woman wounded in a series of clashes between US-Iraqi forces and militants across Iraq on Saturday, US military and police said.

Police said up to 30 insurgents were killed in a series of clashes between joint US-Iraq forces and insurgents around the restive city of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, police said, without providing further details.

Earlier Saturday, a US military statement said US forces came under fire as they approached a suspected bomb-making facility near Taji, just north of the capital, and in the ensuing gunbattle 10 insurgents were killed.

‘During the exchange of fire, one pregnant woman and one teenaged male were injured,’ the statement said. ‘She and the teenage male were immediately treated and subsequently evacuated to coalition medical facilities for further treatment.’

The teenager later died of his wounds.
