"American soldiers shot dead Arkan Ali al-Nuaimi, 19, on Wednesday evening as he approached a checkpoint in his car in the oil city of Kirkuk, a police official told AFP.
Major John Hall told AFP in an emailed response that a group of dismounted US soldiers was attacked with small arms fire from an approaching purple sedan.

"The soldiers returned fire in self defence, killing a passenger in the car. The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody," Hall said."]/Ladu
