Six civilians, five Iraqi men and one child were killed early Friday by US gunfire in a street market in the town of Tikrit. A child who was in the marketplace of the town, 175 kilometers north of Baghdad, was also fatally shot, and a woman was wounded, witnesses said. There was no immediate confirmation of the incident from the US military. Meanwhile Jordanian newspapers on Friday condemned the deadly car bomb attack against Jordan's embassy in Baghdad. Most dailies declined to speculate on who carried out Thursday's attack which killed 11 Iraqis and wounded 54 other people, according to hospital sources. "While it is too early to identify the real people who stood behind this act of terrorism, it is obvious that they are against not only the bilateral relations between Iraq and Jordan but also the interests, security and stability of Iraq itself and its people," wrote the English-language Jordan Times. However, Al Arab Al Yawm daily noted that the attack came days after the newspaper of a key Iraqi figure -- convicted in Jordan for fraud and embezzlement -- criticised Amman's decision to give refuge to two of Saddam Hussein's daughters. "Two days (before the embassy attack) a bold campaign was launched against Jordan by the newspaper of Ahmad Chalabi because it hosted the two daughters of Saddam Hussein," at the end of July, the daily said. Chalabi, a member of the US-backed transitional Iraqi Governing Council, was sentenced by Jordan more than a decade ago in absentia to 22 years in prison for allegedly embezzling 900 million dollars from a bank he ran here. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Iraqi policemen look at the body of a suspected 'gun dealer' who was killed by U.S. soldiers at a market place in the city of Tikrit, Iraq, Friday Aug. 8, 2003.
