71. BBC: Attack on US troops is worst yet (bush* quote)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4116487.stm

<snip>

Nineteen US soldiers have been killed in an explosion at a US military base in Mosul, making it the worst single incident for the US military in Iraq.

Six Iraqi civilians were also killed in the attack which happened in a dining tent at the base at noon (0900 GMT).

The US military said there was a single explosion in the Camp Merez base, south-west of the northern city.

US President George W Bush offered his condolences but stressed that troops had a vital mission of peace in Iraq.

He said that it was sorrowful when lives were lost at any time of year but particularly in the week before Christmas.

"I'm confident democracy will prevail in Iraq," he said.
