10 killed in Fallujah blast, Iraq retracts Ibrahim arrest claim

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - Seven US marines and three Iraqi national guards were killed in the deadliest anti-coalition attack in months, as Iraqi officials sheepishly retracted claims Saddam's deputy had been captured.

Meanwhile five hostages -- a Turkish truck driver, four Jordanians and a Sudanese national -- were released by their kidnappers, but an Islamist group reportedly set new conditions for the release of two French journalists.

The US Marines said a car bomb blew up by a joint US-Iraqi military convoy near the Sunni Muslim insurgent stronghold of Fallujah west of Baghdad.

"The explosion killed seven Marines who were assigned to First Marine Expeditionary Force and three Iraqi National Guard Soldiers," it said. <snip>

At this rate, even the media won't be able to hide when we hit 1000 before November. They sure are trying though. Fucking state-run media.
