TIKRIT, Iraq, Dec. 25 (Xinhuanet) -- The US troops killed three Iraqis in a raid on suspect insurgents in Dhuluiyah town north of Baghdad, an Iraqi-US liaison office in Tikrit said in a statement on Sunday.

The statement gave no further details about the incident.A source from Dhuluiyah police told Xinhua that after the US troops stormed several houses late last night, they informed the police in the town of three bodies in one of the houses.

"According to the police investigation the US soldiers arrested Dhrgham Shiyaa in his house and took him to his neighbor house where they arrested Fuad Abdullah Ubaid, a policeman, and his cousin Ahmed Karim Khalaf, an army soldier, and killed the three,"the source said.

The police found the three bodies in a room of Ubaid's house with 24 empty cartridges.The US military said their soldiers killed three insurgents on Saturday when they attacked a US patrol with small arms fire near Dhuluiyah, some 90 km north of Baghdad.Insurgents frequently attack US troops in the Sunni Arab cities of Salahudin province, where Dhuluiyah is located, and the US troops often accused some Iraqi security members of collaboration with the insurgency.

did the troops kill them in a firefight or take them outside the their houses and shoot them,if that`s the case it would be a war crime.

The iraqi source, whoever that is, says they were arrested and then killed.
Sounds exactly as in all the other similar cases, doesn't it?

didn't negroponte set up some hit squads while he was there?

"The US troops killed three Iraqis....."

We invaded their country.
We have killed over 100,000 Iraqis.

Outside of slavery I can not think of a bigger blunder in US History then this Iraqi mistake.

Merry Christmas indeed.

unending. May God have mercy on corporate Amerika.

as of this morning 2166 Americans have ben killed in this conflict. How many more mr. bushit has to die before you claim victory and get out?

The following is a song by John Foggerty that we all should make requests to our local radio stations to play.....

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Momma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no end

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at The Wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've seen this all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
It's like Deja Vu all over again
