Iranian forces shelled suspected rebel outposts in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region, killing two Iraqi civilians, officials said Monday, in the latest in a string of cross-border attacks that have forced hundreds of residents to flee. The artillery fire hit the small Iraqi town of Sidkan, about 12 miles (20 kilometres) from the Iraq-Iran frontier, said Sidkan mayor Ahmed Qadir.
He added that three residents were wounded in the four hours of shelling. Kurdish border guard Captain Ahmed Saleh confirmed the casualties.
