Six American soldiers were killed and four wounded in a house rigged with explosives during an operation in Baqouba, the U.S. military told NBC News on Wednesday.
The soldiers were clearing the house when a huge blast killed the six — the largest single loss of life for U.S. troops in the Iraq war so far this year. It's not clear whether the house was booby-trapped or the explosives were remotely detonated.
The identities of those killed and their unit were being withheld pending notification of their families.

Prayers up for the fallen and wounded.
“the largest single loss of life for U.S. troops in the Iraq war so far this year”
I hate these bastard MSM people who use this line. Its the 7th of january and they are celebrating this event.
I hate when those bastards do that too...
I have been surprised that this MO has not been used more, and hopefully this is not the start of a new trend.tactic.
I join you in your humble prayer. Let us all pray for the dead and wounded, and do not forget that this is a treacherous war. God bless and keep these men and their families.
I am very aware of that, thank you...
My best friend is over there for the 4th time with the US Army
Sweet Jesus, no words. “Blessed be the Peacemakers...”
Prayers Dear Lord, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Damn those jihadis to hell! Payback is coming!
How about taking AQ prisoners, put shock belts on ‘em, put ‘em in US uniforms, and send them into the house first?
Prayers.................
Prayers up.
RIP.
God bless these brave soldiers and their families.
(Too bad silly string or a robot didn’t prevent this tragic loss.)
