US-backed Iraqi soldiers raided a home in southeastern Baghdad, killing two men and arresting an Iraqi soldier from an intelligence service unit.

The raid took place on Wednesday, in a predominantly Shiite district of the capital. A brother of one of the men killed says he has no idea what might have prompted the raid, calling it a "crime." He says the man who was arrested is his cousin. US and Iraqi militaries had no immediate comment on the raid.
