Three US soldiers killed in Iraq-Did this happen?

[Contrary1]

This supposedly happened in Mosul 3 days ago. I haven't paid close attention to the news this week. Was this reported here in the states?
And if not, how reliable would news from "China Daily" be?

"Iraqi teenagers dragged two bloodied U.S. soldiers from a wrecked vehicle and pummeled them with concrete blocks Sunday, witnesses said, describing the killings as a burst of savagery in a city once safe for Americans.

Witnesses to the Mosul attack said gunmen shot two soldiers driving through the city center, sending their vehicle crashing into a wall. The 101st Airborne Division said the soldiers were driving to another garrison.

About a dozen swarming teenagers dragged the soldiers out of the wreckage and beat them with concrete blocks, the witnesses said.
"They lifted a block and hit them with it on the face," said Younis Mahmoud, 19."

1. They seem more reliable than the State Run Media here in the US!

Much more so... :(

2. That story is from last year.

3. American media has proven to be full of propaganda

and requires confirmation, ie not to be trusted as a sole source.

No reason why this source is any better or worse.

4. Oh, geez...Zynx is correct.

It is from last year. I'm sorry. I tend to blow a gasket
when I read about more of our men dying, and failed to
notice the date. Please excuse the error.
