Bombings, mortar attacks kill 39 in Iraq.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police said Wednesday they found the bodies of 65 men who had been tortured, shot and dumped, most around Baghdad, while car bombs and mortar attacks killed at least 39 people and wounded 78 more.
Two U.S. soldiers were also killed — one on Monday from enemy action in restive Anbar province and the other Tuesday by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad, the U.S. military command said. 24 Marines were also shot and wounded. As one troop said "Why did Bush say "Bring Um On"?
The U.S. military said it could not confirm all the execution-style killings but did say there were many dead.
"It is looking like about a 50 percent discrepancy on execution-style killings so far," said Maj. Josslyn Aberle, chief of the media relations division for the Multi-National Corps- Iraq. The Marines admit they need more men to do the job but Mr Bush will not allow more troops into Iraq. The Maines state they are getting beat.
