Baghdad: A woman and a child were among four killed during a US military operation targeting Al Qaida in northern Iraq, the military said on Sunday.
The two civilians were killed along with two armed men. The military said it regretted the death of the civilians.
The military said US forces fired on a car carrying suspected militants that refused to stop near the northern city of Mosul on Saturday.
"Coalition forces fired three warning shots, but the driver refused to stop and one man made threatening movements from inside the vehicle," the military said in a statement.
"Coalition forces responded to the perceived threat and engaged the vehicle," the military added.
