Six More soldiers dead.
 

Six US soldiers and their translator have been killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, the US military has said.
The attack happened in the west of the Iraqi capital on Saturday, a statement released on Sunday announced.

The troops' identities have been withheld until their families can be informed, the statement said.

In a separate incident in Diwaniya, 130km (80 miles) south of Baghdad, one US soldier was killed and two injured when their vehicle was hit by a blast.

The BBC's James Shaw in Baghdad says roadside bombs remain the biggest threat for international forces operating in Iraq.

The troops in killed in Baghdad were part of a unit which had spent the last week searching for weapons caches and bomb-making equipment in insurgents' safe-houses around the city, the US statement said.

How long until they realise they should just fuck off back home?

daily news ....

U.S. soldiers dying in Iraq isnt news. A day where U.S. soldiers dont die in Iraq, now that's news.

shame shame

If the military's policy was to kill every man woman and child within range of that bomb, then insurgents wouldn't be able to set off bombs and hide in the crowd.
