Iraqi special forces backed by US troops have killed 84 insurgents in a raid on a lakeside training camp near the city of Tikrit, officials say.
A 240-strong Iraqi commando unit engaged in heavy fighting before seizing the camp, 160km (100 miles) north-west of Baghdad, on Tuesday.
Iraqi officials confirmed that at least seven Iraqi commandos died, alongside insurgents from a number of countries.
Correspondents say it is the heaviest blow to the insurgency in months.
