Ongoing clashes between anti-government fighters and soldiers near a militant-held city on Baghdad's doorstep have killed at least Three people and wounded dozens more, officials said Friday. The latest unrest erupted Thursday night in Anbar province, a mostly desert region in western Iraq along the Syrian border, where security forces have failed for months to evict insurgents from key territory. Army forces began shelling the region of Zoba, which lies just south of Fallujah, local officials said, sparking clashes with militants. "There were clashes and shelling against Zoba from yesterday (Thursday) evening until today, and it is still going on," said Faisal Essawi, an official working in Amriyat al-Fallujah, the nearest town.
