BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were wounded and their Iraqi translator was killed on Saturday when gunmen ambushed their convoy south of Baghdad, the U.S. army said.





"Four U.S. soldiers were wounded and their Iraqi translator was killed in a small arms fire ambush 22 km (14 miles) south of Iskandariya (near Baghdad). Two civilian type SUVs were destroyed in the attack," a U.S. military spokeswoman said.


A guerrilla campaign of bombings and shootings has killed 378 American soldiers since the war that toppled Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) began in March.

1. Yesterday's "Stars and Stripes" reports 2,672 US injured, hostile action

non-hostile injured are 415, "since the start of military operations".

I don't think those numbers are anywhere close to being correct.
