Operation qWagmire update
A U.S. soldier was killed and another wounded Tuesday in an ambush along a road north of Baghdad, the U.S. military reported.

A big gun battle broke out when U.S. soldiers surrounded a house in Mosul belonging to a cousin of Saddam Hussein. The soldier's death brought to 153 the number of U.S. troops killed in action since the March 20 start of war — six more than during the 1991 Gulf War

In Monday's attack, insurgents used roadside bombs detonated by remote control, killing a U.S. soldier and his Iraqi translator, wounding three other members of the 1st Armored Division squad and destroying two Humvees.


"Bring 'em on!"
