BAGHDAD - A source at the Yarmouk hospital said it had received the bodies of two truck drivers, who were shot dead by gunmen in Taji, 20 km (12 miles) north of Baghdad.
RAMADI - Police said that two civilians were killed during clashes between insurgents and U.S. military forces in central Ramadi, 110 km (68 miles) west of Baghdad. The U.S. military said no casualties were reported among the coalition forces or the insurgents after rebels fired on American soldiers.
