9 Civilians Killed in Iraq Mortar Attack
Mortar Attack in Iraq Leaves Nine Civilians Dead, 18 Injured As U.N.
Announces Cutbacks

A mortar blast tore through a market north of Baghdad, killing nine
civilians and injuring more than a dozen others, Iraqi police said
Friday. Townspeople suspected American soldiers stationed nearby may have
been the target.

Also Friday, the U.S. military said an American soldier was killed in an
ambush in Kirkuk. Amid the continuing violence, the United Nations
announced it was cutting its staff in Baghdad, and Iraqis prepared to
bury an assassinated member of the country's Governing Council.

In Baghdad, the U.S. military said one soldier from the 173rd Airborne
Brigade was killed and two others were wounded during an ambush in
northern Iraq. The incident occurred about 11 p.m. Thursday when a
rocket-propelled grenade was fired at their vehicle. The names of the
victims were withheld pending notification of kin.

The military also announced that a soldier from the 4th Infantry Division
died and another was injured in a fire Thursday night in an abandoned
building in the Tikrit area. No further details were released.

The inability of the U.S.-led coalition to stop the violence was behind a
decision Thursday by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to order a further
reduction of U.N.
