Coalition troops opened fire on a vehicle in northern Iraq, killing four people, including a woman and child, military officials said Sunday. The driver had failed to stop at a vehicle inspection checkpoint near Mosul, a U.S. military news release said. The shooting happened amid a military sweep seeking people suspected of associating with al-Qaida terrorists, CNN reported. U.S. and Iraqi soldiers have recently increased anti-al-Qaida efforts in Mosul, a mostly Sunni City. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has sent additional Iraqi soldiers to the Mosul area with his promise to rid the region of insurgents, the report said. (UPI)
