Two American marines killed in Iraq (Ramadi 1370?)
http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Daily/Day/050118/2005011802.html

A statement by the American army said on Tuesday that two marines were killed during confrontations with gunmen in al-Anbar governorate which includes al-Ramadai and Falluja. The statement said the two soldiers were killed on Tuesday at dawn but gave no details about their killing.

This coincided with the operation in which several American marines were injured in a booby trapped car explosion led by a suicide attack against their vehicle in Ramadi on Monday evening.

Also found in Ramadi city were the bodies of Iraqi civilians including two Shiites, and beside them was a written statement describing them as hirelings.

These developments came after a wave of explosions took place in the region on Monday and resulted in killing 22 persons at least most of them members of the Iraqi police and national guards.
