A police official says US troops opened fire on a car in
western Baghdad killing an Iraqi journalist and her
husband.
The official says the incident took place late on Wednesday
in the Tobchi neighbourhood. He says US troops open fire on
Aseel al-Obeidi and her husband's car but gave no further
details.
He spoke on Thursday on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorised to talk to the media.
Morgue officials confirmed the deaths.
The US military did not confirm the incident but said it was
investigating killings on Wednesday of two Iraqis that
occurred as troops were conducting security operations in
western Baghdad.
Al-Obeidi worked for Dijla television, which recently closed
because of financial problems.
