U.S. military officials said Tuesday that U.S. soldiers shot to death the chairman of Sadr City's governing council during a heated argument this week. Sadr City is a largely Shiite neighborhood in the Iraqi capital, formerly known as Saddam City.

Officials said the quarrel got under way Monday when the chairman, Mohannad Ghazi al Kaabi, tried to park his car near the District Advisory Council building in an area closed to traffic. When U.S. troops tried to stop him, military officials said, he became agitated, got out of his car and began arguing with a soldier guarding the offices.

Al Kaabi wrestled the soldier to the ground and grabbed his gun, according to the officials. Another soldier shot al Kaabi in the upper thigh, they said.

A medic administered first aid to al Kaabi and transported him to a military medical facility, where he was pronounced dead.

The death is under investigation, military officials said.

Given the recent rash of car bombs, one cannot blame the troops for being paranoid about the parking situation. While it's obvious that we haven't seen the whole story yet (dying of a shot to the thigh?), equally obviously we are not talking about a "firefight" here.

In other action, Sanchez said Iraqi security forces captured an ambulance Monday carrying a "vehicle-mounted improvised explosive device" near Baghdad.

Police tried to stop the ambulance south of the al Daura police station, according a statement from the 1st Armored Division. The ambulance sped away, causing an accident, the statement said. Three people got out of the ambulance and fired small arms at the other vehicle involved in the accident before fleeing, the military said.

It is this kind of tactic that makes it hard on innocent Iraqis.

Two more items that won't make headlines:

• Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday that trained and armed
Iraqis to provide security now outnumber other members of the U.S.-led coalition, including
American soldiers. Myers said that 131,000 Iraqis are armed while the U.S. share of the coalition
totals 118,000 troops. Iraqis are conducting security patrols and providing police and border
protection in conjunction with other coalition forces, he said.

• More than 800 artifacts looted from Baghdad's Iraqi National Museum in the chaotic days after
Saddam's fall were returned Tuesday, Iraqi Ministry of Culture officials said. The antiquities
included a copper Bassetki Statue from 2300 B.C., a wood and bronze brazier and other smaller
objects from different periods.
