Occupation Iraq: Murder in Sumar

"5 G.I.’s Die in Ambush in Mosul" by RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.

".... American troops swept into Sumar, a neighborhood of Mosul, on Monday afternoon, raiding and searching homes and engaging militants in gunfights.

Brig. Saeed al-Jibouri, a Mosul police spokesman, in a telephone interview on Monday evening:

The gunmen in the neighborhood panicked and clashed with the Americans. Sounds of gunfire can still be heard in the neighborhood, and the area is still surrounded by the American forces.”
