In the northern city of Kirkuk, gunmen in a car killed two policemen and wounded two others, police Capt. Abdul-Salam Zangana said. He identified the slain victims as twin brothers Ahmed and Mohammed Kadhim, killed as they were parking their car in a main square and as worshippers left a nearby mosque.

In the northern city of Mosul, insurgents fired mortar rounds at a barracks housing soldiers of the U.S.-trained Iraqi Civil Defense Corps, killing two civilians and injuring six, the U.S. military said.


Also in Mosul, a U.S. soldier from the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division died in a "non-combat-related shooting" on Monday, the military said. An investigation was under way. The soldier's name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.

I guess to the Christian fundamentalists, death is a form of liberation? Is that what Bush had in mind?
