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.

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.

2. it's a dupe
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.
