The U.S. military says American soldiers have killed two armed relatives of a provincial governor during a raid against al-Qaida in Iraq.

The military says in a statement that the soldiers were acting in self-defense when they shot the relatives of Hamad Hammoud, governor of Salahuddin province. It says the slain men showed "hostile intent."

The raid happened Sunday in Beiji in northern Iraq. The deputy governor, Abdullah Hussein Jabarah, says the slain men were the son and nephew of the governor.

The U.S. military says a financier for al-Qaida in Iraq was wounded and captured during the operation.

  • This is probably going to do a lot to clean up our image with the Iraqi people...

  • I wonder what they consider "hostile intent"? A mean glare in their general direction?

  • So the governor's son and nephew are hanging out with al-Qaida financiers? Who is on who's side again? It's getting harder and harder to believe anything I read or hear these days.

  • To hell with the Iraqi people.We need to get the hell out of there and let them deal with their pathetic "government".They keep saying they want us out.What are we waiting for?I guess we need to blow up some more infrastructure so Cheneys company can rebuild it and make him richer.These two terrorist collaborators deserved to die.Good riddance!
