Gunmen killed four occupants of a car in Mosul on Friday, and locals claimed three of them were foreigners. The attack took place at the Yarmouk traffic intersection. According to the AP, the bodies of the four victims, including one whose head was almost severed, were seen lying on the road alongside their burning car.
Meanwhile, three Kurds were killed in a missile attack on a Kirkuk camp, reports said. A 10-year child was also seriously wounded in the strike on the camp in Kirkuk's northeastern Azadi neighbourhood, the city's police chief, General Turhan Yussef, told AFP. 
The dead were among more than 14,000 Kurds who have returned to Kirkuk since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime last year.
Elsewhere, a U.S. Marine was killed in action Thursday while conducting "security and stabilization operations" in the Anbar province west of Baghdad, the military said Friday.
