Idiocy, absolute idiocy. Revenge killings. Think there might be a connection between the type of events in the first part of the article, and the second part. Duh! Zarqawi isn't source of all resistance.

Six Iraqis killed in attack on village

Six members of an Iraqi family have been killed and four children wounded when their village was fired on.

Family members on Sunday blamed US troops, saying soldiers had heard people shooting into the air on Saturday to celebrate a wedding nearby and had fired back from their tanks.

The US military said it had no information about any incident in Zuham village near Miqdadiya, north of Baghdad.

"The attack happened at abour 2:30 p.m. (11:30 GMT), when the family was in the house," cousin Bashir Ata Allah Salih said.

"The first shell landed in a nearby shop, and the next one inside the house. Two children were blown into pieces. There were five killed and five wounded."

Doctors at a hospital in nearby Baquba, where the wounded were treated, said a sixth person died from her injuries on Sunday morning. Four children under the age of 17 remained in hospital.

Soldiers killed

Also on Sunday it was announced that four US occupation soldiers had died following two separate roadside bomb blasts in Baghdad.

An army spokesman said the first bomb killed three and wounded one when it exploded at 19:45 GMT on Saturday in southeast Baghdad. The fourth death followed a roadside bombing at 03:30 on Sunday morning.

The attacks bring the number of US soldiers killed in action in Iraq since end of major combat on 1 May to 389.

They follow the killings early on Sunday of two US soldiers in an explosion in the city of Tikrit, 180km north of Baghdad. Another five soldiers were injured in the attack, some of them critically.
