At least 10 people have been killed and scores wounded in shooting in Mosul in northern Iraq, a
hospital doctor said, as other witnesses alleged United States troops had opened fire.
"There are perhaps 100 wounded and 10 to 12 dead" following the shooting near the local
government offices in a central square, Dr Ayad al-Ramadhani said at the emergency
department of the city hospital.
Three witnesses questioned by AFP and casualties who spoke to hospital staff said US troops
had fired on the crowd which was becoming increasingly hostile towards the city's new governor,
Mashaan al-Juburi, as he was making a pro-US speech.
