At least 15 people were injured. Baghdad security spokesman Qassim al-Moussawi said the firefight with the Sunni Arab fighters, who have been sponsored by the U.S. military to fight al Qaeda, broke out after Iraqi forces arrested their leader, Adil al-Mashhadani, and one of his men on terrorism charges in the central district of al-Fadhil. "They had a judicial warrant," Moussawi said, adding that seven Iraqi soldiers had been wounded in the clashes. A local hospital source said he had received three bodies -- two civilians and a policeman -- and treated eight civilians. A Reuters reporter heard heavy gunfire near the scene and saw Iraqi army snipers on roofs all around the neighbourhood. He said Iraqi forces had ringed the area but the streets were largely controlled by the Sunni Arab fighters. Called Awakening Councils or Sahwa in Arabic, the units are mostly led by Sunni Arab sheikhs and include former insurgents. They have been credited with drastically cutting violence after they switched sides in late 2006, routing Sunni Islamist al Qaeda from parts of Baghdad, western Anbar province and some northern towns. But deep mistrust remains between them and Iraq's Shi'ite-led government. How the government handles the guards it once fought is seen as a major test of reconciliation as the United States prepares to pull combat troops out by August 31, 2010. "What happened to Mashhadani was just revenge. Now it is obvious to us that the government is insincere in its talk of reconciliation," said a guard who witnessed the battle. The guard declined to be named, saying: "After this, we can't trust anyone anymore." There are just under 100,000 members of the Awakening Councils nationwide. The U.S. military has paid them but last year the Iraqi government started taking over the programme. The government will soon pay all of them itself, until it absorbs 20 percent into its own security services and finds civilian jobs for the rest. Many former insurgents in the programme have feared being arrested or pursued in sectarian vendettas, despite assurances by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that this would not happen. U.S. officials have said a dangerous situation could arise if Maliki's government fails to bring about reconciliation with these Sunni Arab fighters, although they say Iraq has the right to detain those accused of grave charges, such as murder or terrorism.
