| Bomb Blast Kills 2 U.S. Soldiers in Iraq |
|
This was published on Yahoo ten minutes ago (approximately 12:20), so I don't think it's a dupe:
By LEE KEATH, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two American soldiers were killed when their Humvee struck a roadside bomb, the military said Friday. U.S. officials also worried that Iraqi police — not impostors in their uniforms — may have been behind the shooting deaths of two coalition staffers and their translator.
The two soldiers died Thursday when the Humvee they were riding in hit a homemade bomb northeast of Habbiniyah in the Sunni Triangle, the heartland of the anti-U.S. insurgency.

Their deaths bring to 556 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the United States launched the Iraq (news - web sites) war in March. Most have died since President Bush (news - web sites) declared an end to active combat May 1.

In central Baghdad, thousands of Shiites rallied against the U.S. presence in Iraq, chanting "Kill America! Kill America!" and "Yes, yes to Islam!"

| 1. I suspect that either this is a dupe or the death toll is wrong. |

It's getting harder & harder to keep track of what is going on, all the information seems to bve in a big muddle. That's probaly the intention.

Not your fault, if the Pentagon would be honest with us, instead of playing games, it'd be easier to keep track of this stuff. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=416561&mesg_id=416561
