2 Marines Killed During Mission in Iraq (#1271, #1272)

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two U.S. Marines have been killed during military operations in Iraq's volatile Anbar province west of Baghdad, the military said Monday.

The 1st Marine Expeditionary Force released a statement saying two of its Marines were killed in action Friday "while conducting security and stability operations" in Anbar province, a vast region which includes the battleground cities of Fallujah and Ramadi.

No further details, including how or where the Marines were killed, were provided. Their identities were being held pending notification of relatives.

The killings brought to at least 1,273 the number of U.S. troops to have died since the war began in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
