Iraqi farmer 'killed' by US fire
From correspondents in Baqubah, Iraq

Iraqi farmer 'killed' by US firead, today and his brother was detained for attempting to retrieve the body, witnesses told AFP.

The farmer, Ziad Yass Abbas, was watering his crops when US troops, standing about 400 metres away, opened fire on him at around 6am (2pm AEDT), said his nephew, Yass Amer Abbas, who was with him at the time.

His uncle was killed instantly, he said.

"They opened fire on my uncle who was with me. I immediately ducked and hid in the plantation before running back home to inform my parents about what had happened."

It was not clear why the US troops opened fire but another witness, university student Ayman Abbas, said: "I saw the Americans looking at Ziad. They probably thought he was suspicious because he was standing there and watching them, so they fired a rifle at him from their armoured personnel carrier."
