BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. troops shot to death two employees of U.S.-funded television station Al-Iraqiya on Monday and wounded a third in the central city of Samara, the station said.

Correspondent Asaad Kadhim and driver Hussein Saleh were killed. Cameraman Bassem Kamel was wounded "after American forces opened fire on them while they were performing their duty," the station announced.

The station, which is funded by the Pentagon interrupted its broadcasts to announce the deaths and showed photos of Kadhim. It then began airing only Quranic texts as a symbol of mourning.

The U.S. military had no immediate comment.
