Baghdad - A suicide bomber detonated an
explosive vest during a US raid in northern Iraq on Sunday, killing 10 Iraqis and the bomber, the US military said.
Three women and three children were among those killed
during the operation targeting a wanted man in Mosul.
"This is just another tragic example of how al-Qaeda in Iraq
hides behind innocent Iraqis," Rear Admiral Patrick Driscoll,
spokesperson for US forces in Iraq, said in a statement.
The statement said that US forces exchanged fire with
armed men as they entered the building, but a military spokesperson said all the Iraqis were killed by the bomb.
The US soldiers later found weapons and explosives in the
building, the statement said.
