11 Die as U.S. Force Raids House in Iraqi City and Man Detonates a Suicide Vest.

Eleven people died after Americans raided a house in the northern city of Mosul at dawn on Sunday and one of the residents detonated a suicide vest while others engaged in a gunfight, the American and Iraqi militaries said. The Americans said that after they entered the house in pursuit of a known insurgent, his companions opened fire and the insurgent detonated his vest. Three women and two children died during the raid, though it was unclear whether they were killed by the gunfire between the Americans and the insurgents or by the explosion. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
