A Month in Sadr City

BAGHDAD, IRAQ - MAY 12: Two US Army soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th ID and an Iraqi Army soldier use a laser range finder binoculars to determine a GPS reading of an enemy sniper position across the concrete barrier wall in Sadr City May 12, 2008 in Baghdad, Iraq. The Iraqi Army position along the contested wall came under 50 caliber sniper fire one hour earlier seriously wounding an Iraqi soldier in the head. Numerous firing incidents occurred on the day a cease fire was declared by Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr's militia and Iraqi Army forces inside Sadr City. American forces are in a supporting role for the Iraqi Army operation to disarm the militias north of the frontline. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)
