WASHINGTON, April 10, 2006 – Three U.S. soldiers died yesterday from wounds suffered by enemy action in Iraq's Anbar province, military officials in Baghdad announced today. A soldier assigned to Regimental Combat Team 7 died yesterday from wounds suffered April 8, and two soldiers assigned to the 2/28 Brigade Combat Team were killed in action yesterday.
The soldiers' names are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
In other news from Iraq, coalition forces raided adjacent suspected al Qaeda safehouses about 10 kilometers northwest of Balad today, killing one terrorist and detaining four others. Three of the detainees suffered wounds during the raids, military officials said.
The coalition troops killed an armed woman terrorist inside the location and shot and wounded an armed man as he ran from the building. The other three were detained as they attempted to flee. Two of the fleeing suspects suffered minor injuries during apprehension, and both are receiving further medical treatment, officials said. Coalition forces found a suicide vest, multiple claymore mines and other explosives nearby.
The terrorist who suffered the gunshot wound was taken to the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, and was listed in stable condition.
No civilians were harmed during the raid, and all lethal material was destroyed, officials said.

not bad, but time to start fire-bombing some of these flash point cities and make examples out of them. Give them ultimatums... you have until tomorrow to lay down your AK's, IED's, turbins, and to quit F*cking your goats or we level this entire city and everyone in it. Ramadi would be a great start. Maybe, just maybe the other sunni triangle cities, the mayors will start to report the terrorist and foreigners, and quit sheltering so many of them. Keep in mind, they being iraqi citizens are allowed to have weapons in the home, if they wanted to they could kill capture and force terrorist out of their neighborhoods. IF they don't do it, we level the entire city. Sounds good to me.
God Bless the families of these brave men.
yeah, but too bad our politicians don't have the back bone to do it... we need to revive and bring back to life ww2 generals... lets start spending money on that instead of these stupid NASA space missions.
