surge update - 2 U.S. Marines die in Iraqi checkpoint bombing
BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden car at an entry control point to the western town of Ramadi on Tuesday, killing two U.S. Marines and wounding three others, the military said.

One civilian was killed and two dozen other residents were wounded in the blast. Ramadi is the capital of the former Sunni insurgent stronghold of Anbar province, and has been relatively peaceful since local tribal leaders joined forces with the U.S. military against al-Qaida in Iraq.
