The U.S. military said on Friday that nine insurgents and two civilians - including photographer Namir Noor-Eldeenm, 22, and driver Saeed Chmagh, 40, both from Reuters - were killed in the fighting. Iraqi police blamed US military action for the deaths of the two Reuters' employees. Also on Friday, the funerals for another seven people killed in the clashes were held in Amin neighbourhood. The U.S. military said Thursday's fighting, in Baghdad's Amin neighbourhood, took place when troops on a raid came under attack from small arms and rocket-propelled grenades, prompting the American forces to return fire and call in aviation reinforcement. Thirteen insurgents were detained, it said. During the fighting, a U.S. helicopter struck targets on the ground as gunmen exchanged mortar and small arms fire with the Americans, said an Iraqi police official who was at the scene. Explosions hit several residential buildings, said the official, though he could not say which side caused the blasts. Officials from the three hospitals where the victims were taken put the toll at 19 dead and 20 wounded. The hospital and police officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to give information to reporters. The discrepancy with the American count could not be immediately explained. A preliminary police report obtained by Reuters said Noor-Eldeen and Chmagh had been killed by a "random American bombardment" that had killed nine other people.
