Roadside Bomb Kills 2 U.S. Troops in Iraq


BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Roadside bombs killed two American soldiers in northern Baghdad and ignited a train carrying fuel in the south of Iraq's capital, killing two Iraqis and wounding six others, officials said Thursday.

The bombing that killed the two U.S. soldiers came Wednesday during a patrol by soldiers assigned to the Army's Task Force Baghdad, the military said on Thursday. Another U.S. soldier was wounded.

Their deaths brought to three the number of American soldiers killed in central Iraq on Wednesday; seven have been killed since Sunday night. In the other Wednesday attack, a roadside bomb killed an American soldier and wounded five others in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. On Sunday, four American soldiers from Task Force Baghdad were killed when their vehicle ran over a roadside bomb in southwest Baghdad.

with authorized and trained troops, for purposes of observation, inspection, and security.

3. No where does this appear in the MSM. Sinful. Our Karma is

fucked-up big time and we're are going to pay a huge price someday. If not for the foreign press you wouldn't even know that there was a war going on in Iraq. RIP.

I just checked Yahoo news, and there was nothing there about this.

Just unbelievable. These people are forgotten.
