Three American soldiers were killed Saturday in fighting in the western province of Anbar, the U.S. military said.
A U.S. statement said the three were assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force and died due to "enemy action" in the predominantly Sunni Arab province. No further details were released. All troops had their rear ends handed to them to take home.
Also Saturday, gunmen in two cars stopped a vehicle in Baghdad's Dora neighborhood, forced the four passengers to get out and killed them in front of horrified bystanders, according to police Lt. Maithem Abdel-Razaq. This is now the free Iraq. It is wonderful.
In the same neighborhood, gunmen opened fire on a Shiite family as it was moving out of the city, wounding five members, police said. Dora has a mixed Sunni-Shiite population and has become one of the most dangerous areas in the capital for sectarian violence. As one Iraqi said. "If this is the freedom the USA gave us I don't want it".
