Two separate bomb attacks killed three US marines in Iraq, including two near the western city of Ramadi and one in the southern port city of Basra, the American military said on Tuesday.

Two marines were killed and three others wounded when a bomber slammed his explosives-laden car against a checkpoint near Ramadi at around 7:30 am (0430 GMT) on Tuesday, the military said.

Two Iraqi policemen and 24 civilians were also wounded in the attack near Ramadi, the capital of Sunni Anbar province, which was once the symbol of Sunni Arab insurgency against the US forces.

A marine was killed and another wounded in a roadside bomb attack in the oil hub of Basra on Monday, the military said in a separate statement.

I am so angry at the thought of all these lives lost and lives turned upside down because of the fuckwit's desire to outshine his daddy.
