Iraq gunmen killed three US servicemen, one in the capital and two in the south of the country, the US command said today.

Two Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit were killed yesterday “as a result of enemy action” in Najaf province, south of the capital, the military said in a statement.

In western Baghdad, an insurgent fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a patrolling US vehicle, killing one soldier, the military said.

The names of those killed were withheld pending notification of next of kin.

8. Speaking of ignoring-Here's MSNBC's account

of what happened the day USforces targeted
AlJazeera, AbuDhabi and the Palestine Hotel.

I told them that I thought the two networks had been
pushing their luc264 traordinary — but the location was far
too risky. They were killing themselves to compete with
each other. I'd offered the Abu Dhabi team a chance to stay
with me at the Palestine. I told them that I thought the
two networks had been pushing their luck too far throughout
the war. "You're too close," I said.

This is not to 264 ime (question?) why a plane designed to destroy
tanks was firing on an empty building. I cynically suspected
the pilot of testing out the Warthog's capabilities, "letting her
rip," so to speak.

Control Room answers what the Warthog was doing.
That building was not empty and the Warthog knew it.

Once again, the Mods at DU are going to have to get
together to decide what a Gossip news site is and
what is censorship. Are we not grown ups here.
Do we need babysitters to decide what is truth?
