BAGHDAD, Iraq The U.S. military says two Iraqi women have been shot to death in a city north of Baghdad after coalition forces fired at a car that failed to stop at an observation post.

The statement came after Iraqi police said a pregnant woman and her cousin were killed by American troops as they were driving to a maternity hospital in Samarra, a predominantly Sunni city 60 miles north of Baghdad.

A statement from the military says a car entered a clearly marked prohibited area near coalition troops. The statement says "shots were fired to disable the vehicle" after it failed to stop despite repeated signals.

The statement calls the deaths "regrettable" and says "coalition forces go to great lengths to prevent them."
