| US soldiers die in (Islamic terrorist) Baghdad blast |
| 2004-06-05 |
| The cowardly jihadi thugs have continued on their mindless rampage of murder & chaos taking the lives of two Americans troops. Their deaths shall not be forgotten!) Two US soldiers have been killed and two others injured in Iraq after their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in the capital, Baghdad. The bomb went off at dawn on Saturday in the eastern slum district of Sadr City, near the site of an attack in which five soldiers died on Friday. Witnesses said the injured men were taken away by military helicopters. The attack was just one of a spate of attacks, despite a truce taking hold in the holy city of Najaf. Unconfirmed reports suggested a convoy of two sports utility vehicles - the favoured vehicle for foreign civilian contractors - had been ambushed on the road to Baghdad airport. Two or three people had been killed, news agencies quoted both American and Iraqi sources as saying - one describing how the bodies had been burnt and mutilated after the attack. However, there has been no official confirmation of the deaths. There has been a string of similar attacks in recent weeks, prompting fears of an increase in violence in the run-up to the 30 June transfer of sovereignty. On Friday, five US soldiers were killed and five others wounded in an attack on a convoy near Baghdad’s main Shia Muslim district. |

| #1 A 100 to 1 ratio (100 of their guys for every one of ours) would be a very effective and frightening aforethought for Iraqis. But God forbid, should it drop to 1 to 1, even the kindest civilian will see it as an 'sensible trade off'! They may be angry, but the're not stupid!! |
