US Troops Kill “AQI” Relatives Of Iraq Governor In Raid
BAGHDAD - The U.S. military says American soldiers have killed two armed relatives of a provincial governor during a raid against al-Qaida in Iraq.
The military says in a statement that the soldiers were acting in self-defense when they shot the relatives of Hamad Hammoud, governor of Salahuddin province. It says the slain men showed “hostile intent.”
The raid happened Sunday in Beiji in northern Iraq. The deputy governor, Abdullah Hussein Jabarah, says the slain men were the son and nephew of the governor.
The U.S. military says a financier for al-Qaida in Iraq was wounded and captured during the operation.

“U.S. troops kill son of Iraqi governor”

Now to someone who only browses over headlines, how does this look? It implies that it was a cold-blooded killing, of course.

Remove “AQI” from the title of my post and you have the (AP’s) original title …
I added the “AQI” because the original title read the same as you stated in ‘intent’ …
Bastards all.
