Two US soldiers killed by car bomb in Iraq
Source: AFP

MOSUL, Iraq - Two US soldiers were killed and nine Iraqis wounded when a suicide car bomb exploded in the northern city of Mosul on Thursday, the US military said.

Iraqi police Lieutenant Colonel Zakariah al-Juburi said two Iraqi policemen were wounded in the blast, which targeted an American patrol.

The US military considers the volatile city to be the last urban stronghold of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which has been driven out of vast swathes of the country by US and Iraq forces, including allied local Sunni militias.

At least 4,209 US soldiers have died in Iraq since the 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, according to an AFP count based on the independent website www.icasualties.org .

4. But wait a minute, just yesterday I heard a right-wing neocon stating that
the positive changes in Iraq are simply phenomenal. Iraq has become so Eden-esque and any one, anyone at all should feel safe and secure shopping in the marketplaces or walking around Iraqi city streets.

You mean that guy was lying?

Condolences to the friends and family of these two soldiers who were killed.
