KUT, Iraq - A woman and a policeman were shot dead during a US raid on a house in the southern Iraqi town of Kut early on Sunday, according to an Iraqi security official and a local medic.
The Iraqi official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said US forces arrested five people in the raid, including a police captain and a tribal leader, all from the same family.
A medic at a nearby hospital said it had received the body of a woman who had been shot in the stomach and the shoulder and a man who had been shot in the head.
A US military spokesman confirmed that a woman was killed during the raid, saying “she was in the area during the engagement with a suspect, moved into the line of fire, and was struck by gunfire.”
