Two civilians were killed and the body of an Iraqi soldier kidnapped two days ago was found Thursday, in the latest round of Iraqi violence.

Police said an Iraqi contractor was killed by unknown gunmen in the province of Kirkuk in northern Iraq which is inhabited by Kurds, Arabs and Turkmen communities.

Also Thursday a man was killed and his wife injured when their car came under fire from U.S. troops on a road south of Kirkuk.

Police said the body of a soldier who disappeared two days ago in the Howeija area, 37 miles southwest of Kirkuk, was found by policemen.

In another incident, an explosion occurred near the Japanese army base in the city of Samawa in southern Iraq, without causing casualties. Police said the blast was caused by a mortar that fell near the base.
