BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Four Iraqis were killed Saturday in separate incidents and the wife and three children of an Iraqi National Guard officer (Col. Kahlis Hussein) were kidnapped.

In the first attack, gunmen opened fire in Baquba on a car carrying an Iraqi National Guard general (Gen. Nashe Jawad Hassan - Hassan's son, 1st Lt. Ammar Nashe, and Col. Ali Abbass were critically injured), killing him and his driver, national guard officials said.

Later on Saturday, two men working for an American security firm were killed when a roadside bomb struck their vehicle in the southern city of Basra, British military sources said.<snip>

About 3,000 to 4,000 supporters of radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr marched Friday in the northern Baghdad neighborhood of Khadmiye against what they called acts of aggression by occupation forces in Sadr City. In Najaf, about 500 protesters led an anti-al-Sadr demonstration and attempted to storm al-Sadr's office. They were stopped by Iraqi forces and were dispersed. <snip>

A car bomb exploded late Friday outside the Sabbatarian Adventist Church in central Baghdad, causing no casualties but shattering windows, according to an Interior Ministry spokesman. <snip>
