More holy fighting in the holy city of Najaf where a holy shrine was damaged— but not it seems wholly destroyed.

NAJAF, Iraq ([1] AP) - One of the most sacred shrines of Shia Islam suffered minor damage during clashes Tuesday between U.S. forces and radical Shiite militiamen that killed at least 13 Iraqis, some of them civilians. It was unclear who was responsible for the shrine damage.
