(SomaliNet) The United States (U.S.) military has accepted killing 10 insurgents in clashes on Saturday shortly after carrying out three air strikes that destroyed a bomb-making factory just north of the Iraqi capital.
According to a U.S military statement, a teenager was also killed in the clashes and a pregnant woman was wounded.
The factory was in the area of Taji, a mostly Sunni town situated near a large U.S. military base.
"After the fighting, Coalition Forces ... discovered significant caches consisting of rocket-propelled grenades, machineguns, anti-aircraft weapons, pipe bombs and more than 3,000 feet of detonation cord," the military said.
