 Coolness: 145915 | BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- As Iraqi troops prepared to launch a major anti-rebel offensive in Baghdad, insurgents killed at least 19 people and wounded 44 in attacks around the nation, officials said Sunday.
Iraqi forces began erecting road checkpoints throughout Baghdad Sunday in advance of Operation Lightning -- planned to include 40,000 Iraqi troops. The operation also calls for cordons, scores of checkpoints and raids against suspected insurgents. In the latest reported attack, three people were killed Sunday and 12 were wounded after insurgents driving two cars opened fire on an Iraqi police patrol in the al-Amriyah neighborhood of western Baghdad, police said. The police called for support, and when it arrived, the insurgents began attacking with mortar rounds. As the fighting raged, a car bomb exploded. The firefight continued for hours and was still ongoing at 6:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m. ET). In eastern Baghdad near the Iraqi Oil Ministry compound, a suicide car bomb exploded Sunday, killing two people and wounding six others, police said. In the al-Madyen region, 20 miles southeast of Baghdad, a suicide car bomber targeted a convoy of Iraqi Interior Ministry commandos Sunday, killing two people, including a commando and a civilian, Iraqi police said. The attack -- near al-Wardiyah village --also wounded eight people, including four commandos and four civilians, police said. Also in Baghdad Sunday morning, the bodies of an Iraqi police officer and a translator were found on a street in the al-Dora district, shot to death, Baghdad police said. The police officer, identified as Safaa Nashaat, was assigned to work in the Baghdad's Green Zone, where the Iraqi government is headquartered. In the northern Iraq town of Tuz, a car bomb parked near an Iraqi school exploded Sunday morning killing two Iraqi civilians and wounding 16 others, an Iraqi military official said. A conflicting military statement said one Iraqi -- not two -- was killed in the attack. Tuz is about 45 miles south of Kirkuk. In the northern city of Mosul, a bomb exploded Sunday morning killing eight Iraqi civilians, including children, the U.S. military said. Another two people were wounded in a second attack in Mosul on Sunday, according to the military. A British military convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in southern Iraq on Sunday morning, killing one British soldier and damaging one vehicle, according to the British Ministry of Defense and Iraqi police. The incident happened at 10:30 a.m. (2:30 a.m. EDT) along the al-Kahla highway about 25 miles south of Amara, according to Amara Police Brigadier General Isma'il. (Full story) Other developments Published letters reportedly written in jail by former Iraqi deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz plead for international intervention, saying that he has been unjustly accused and denied access to personal mail. (Full story) Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said Sunday that military officials "tend to believe" that wanted terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been wounded. (Full story) A U.S. soldier died last week from wounds sustained three weeks earlier, the U.S. military said Sunday in a statement. Sgt. First Class Randy Collins with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, was wounded May 4 by a mortar attack near Mosul, according to the statement. A U.S. Marine was killed Saturday when the vehicle in which he was riding was struck by a roadside bomb in western Iraq, the U.S. military said. The death brought the number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war to 1,656, according to U.S. military reports. The Marine was assigned to 2nd Force Service Support Group (Forward), 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), the military said. |

 Coolness: 92980 | They talk about all this as if it isn't normal. They mention how many u.s soldiers were killed but don't give any numbers on Iraqis. If you don't want your soldiers to die then brign them back to their fucking country where they belong or at the very least LET them go home. As if you didn't know this woudl happen in the first place. Stupid fucks. |
