Residents look at the rubble of a house that was destroyed in an air strike in Basra,  11 Apr 2008

Iraqi officials say unidentified gunmen have shot and killed a senior aide to radical Shi＇ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr in the southern holy city of Najaf Friday.

Police and the director of the Sadr movement＇s office in Najaf confirmed the killing. The officials say Riyadh al-Nouri was driving home from Friday prayers when he was shot. Authorities in Najaf have imposed a curfew.

Meanwhile, witnesses say a mortar apparently aimed at the U.S.-protected Green Zone fell short, blasting the area of the Palestine Hotel. The extent of damage is unclear, and there was no immediate report of any casualties.

Separately, coalition forces in Iraq have killed 12 suspected insurgents in air strikes in the southern city of Basra today and in Baghdad＇s Sadr City district late Thursday.

Fighting has intensified in Iraq since Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered a crackdown on Shi＇ite militias last month.
