Seven American service members were killed and six others were wounded
in five attacks in Iraq, the U.S. military announced today.
The attacks occurred in Baghdad, Fallujah and Anbar Province.
One soldier from the Multi-National Division-Baghdad unit died and
another was wounded today when their vehicle was struck by an improvised
explosive device in southern Baghdad, a U.S. military statement said.
A second Multi-National Division-Baghdad soldier died and another was
wounded today when their combat security patrol was attacked with small
arms fire in a southwestern neighborhood of the Iraqi capital, a
military statement said.
Also in Baghdad today, a soldier was killed and two others were wounded
when a projectile targeted their Multi-National Division-Baghdad unit.
An Iraqi interpreter -- working for the U.S. military -- also was
wounded in the attack.
In Fallujah, west of Baghdad, two 13th Sustainment Command soldiers were
killed and two others wounded in an improvised explosive device attack
on Saturday, the U.S. military said.
Today, two Marines assigned to the Multi National Force-West unit were
killed while conducting combat operations in Anbar Province.
The names of the deceased soldiers will be released after relatives are
notified, the military statements said.
About 3,300 U.S. service members have died since the start of the war in
March 2003.
