It's not confirmed, but it's not a typo: sky.com HEAVY FIGHTING IN IRAQ A large number of soldiers have been killed in fierce fighting in Iraq, according to unconfirmed reports. Some reports have put the toll as high as 130 but others have put the death toll at 12 with 20 wounded. The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah. Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of it is confirmed." But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by men who are militarily trained." Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated". Meanwhile, Tony Blair has announced he will fly to Washington to meet George Bush on April 16 to discuss the worsening situation. Iraqi radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has vowed to continue a Shi'ite uprising until the forces answer his demands. It has forced Mr Bush to consider sending more troops in an attempt to deal with, what is in effect, an attempted coup. The cleric's aide said the Coalition must withdraw troops from populated areas, such as Baghdad and Fallujah, and release prisoners. The demands are in addition to the original call for al-Sadr's extremist newspaper to be reopened after the coalition shut it down. Al-Sadr's militiamen have opened up three fronts across the country, targeting coalition forces and causing casualties in American, British and Italian held areas. Sky's David Chater in Baghdad said: "They (the militias) have shown their military might and their demands are growing. Steve Dietrich
