US forces kill six Iraqis near Kirkuk

American occupation troops killed six Iraqis, who, according to a U.S. military spokesman, ambushed the US convoy and used rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.

Two American occupation troops were injured in this incident on Saturday afternoon close to the northern city of Kirkuk, Reuters quoted Lieutenant Colonel William MacDonald, .... According to him, all in all, eight men participated in the attack against the convoy, and the US forces returned fire, shooting to death six Iraqis and wounding two.
