Iraqi soldier reportedly kills three US troops, including American captain, in al Mawsil.


In a dispatch posted at 11:35am Baghdad time Wednesday morning, the Yaqen News Agency reported that US troops had arrested Qaysar Sa‘di, a soldier in the puppet “Iraqi National Guards” after he shot and killed three US troops, including a captain.

Yaqen reported a source in the puppet security forces in al-Qayyarah as saying that a translator who was accompanying the Americans was also wounded in the incident.

The source said that the incident took place in a neighborhood of al-Mawsil, 420km northwest of Baghdad, two days earlier in the course of joint raids that the US troops and their puppet army allies were carrying out. An American soldier at one point began to beat and kick a pregnant Iraqi woman, prompting the Iraqi puppet “National Guard” soldier to try to intervene. The confrontation between him and the American escalated to gunfire when Sa‘di, the “National Guard” soldier opened fire on the American and his companions.

The source said that Sa‘di was a resident of al-Qayyarah and had been in the puppet army for more than a year at the time of the incident.

The figure includes eight military civilians. At least 3,178 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
