Violence continues ahead of Iraq poll

Pre-election violence in Iraq is showing no signs of abating with the deaths today of two American soldiers following on from yesterday's killing of 22 Iraqi policemen and soldiers.

A Catholic archbishop who leads the Syrian community in the city of Mosul has also been kidnapped.

A statement from the Vatican denounced the abduction of the archbishop, Basil George Casmusa, as a terrorist act.

It gave no details of how the kidnapping happened.

I find no mention of the 2 KIA at http://icasualties.org/oif or at http://www.defenselink.mil/releases.

edit - the two seem to be from the car bomb incident in Ramadi mentioned at icasualties today.
