Baghdad : At least four Iraqi civilians have died in the last hours, two of them by US shots, while the US death toll has amounted to 4,125 since they invaded the country in March 2003.
US military spokespersons informed two armed men were killed Sunday during joint raids with Iraqi forces in the locality of Baiji, allegedly in self-defense.
One of the men was said to be related to the governor of Salah al-Din province, Hamad Hammoud, but he is believed to be one of the official financers of the Al-Qaida network in Iraq, according to security forces.
A top official in Salah al-Din had previously indicated two adolescents, a son and a nephew of Hammoud had been killed by the occupation forces.
Another two persons also died Sunday when a car bomb exploded in Mosul.
