BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Nine civilians were killed in fresh violence
in Iraq on Thursday when guerrillas mounted attacks two days
before the first anniversary of the start of the U.S.-led war to oust
Saddam Hussein.

A British military spokesman in Basra said four Iraqis were killed in
an explosion outside the southern city's Mirbad Hotel. A child was
one of at least two people wounded, witnesses said.

Three employees of a U.S.-funded television station were shot
dead at Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, and two Iraqis, including a
child, were killed in fighting between guerrillas and U.S. troops in
another restive town, Falluja.

Guerrillas have targeted Iraqis seen as cooperating with U.S.-led
occupying forces, who blame Saddam supporters and foreign
Islamic militants for attacks.
