U.S. Soldiers Kill Six Iraqi Civilians

There was no immediate confirmation of the incident from the U.S. military.

Three U.S. Soldiers Wounded

In another development, at least three U.S. occupation soldiers were wounded Friday when a roadside blast hit two U.S. all-terrain Humvees by al-Amariya, 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of Baghdad, witnesses told AFP.

A powerful explosion shook the road at 10:00 am (0600 GMT), flipping over one of the vehicles, said farmer Sami Abed al-Issawi.

U.S. troops immediately arrived at the scene, while a helicopter evacuated three wounded soldiers, he said.

Al-Amariya is just south of Fallujah, considered a center of festering anti-U.S. sentiment among the area’s Sunni Muslim community.

Jordan Embassy Blast Ups

Also in the occupied Arab country, two more people died from wounds suffered during Thursday’s powerful car bomb blast outside Jordan’s embassy in Baghdad, a medical source said, bringing the number of dead in the attack to 13.

"Two more people died during the night," said Kutayba Salman, the head doctor of Iskan hospital, Friday.

Eleven people were killed and 57 wounded Thursday when a car bomb exploded outside the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad, a doctor said.

The reasons for the attack were not immediately clear, though Jordan recently gave asylum to two daughters of ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who is still at large despite the best efforts of occupying U.S. forces to track him down.

Lieutenant-General Ricardo Sanchez, the top U.S. soldier on the ground in Iraq, said the bomb was the most serious attack against a "soft target" since the end of the war on May 1.
