Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wednesday, 18 October 2006, 08:06 GMT 09:06 UK Nine US soldiers killed in Iraq US troops are more exposed as they try to tackle sectarian strife The United States military in Iraq says nine of its troops have been killed in Iraq, including four in a roadside bombing near Baghdad. The blast struck the soldiers' vehicle as they travelled west of the capital. Three more were killed in the restive Diyala province, north of Baghdad and two others died in separate incidents. The deaths come as US-led forces in Iraq experience a surge in casualties in insurgency attacks; more than 60 US troops have been killed this month. The BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says that, with an average of three Americans dying every day, this is one of the highest casualty rates sustained by US troops since January 2005. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6061488.stm Dasha: Ve/Sa/Ra/Ra/Ju  satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino mobile: Skype ID: +351963916784 jorge_angelino Add me to your address book...
