U.S. command in Iraq acknowledges
three more deaths
BAGHDAD, November 27 (PL) —. The U.S. military
command acknowledged the loss of three of its
troops, raising the number of fatal casualties this
month to 58, despite efforts by the Iraqi government
to strangle the resistance.
The
U.S. authorities did not specify the circumstances,
ranks or places of death of the three soldiers,
although it did say that they were killed “in combat
action.”
The
information was confirmed by media agencies here,
which reported dynamite attacks and armed clashes in
several locations in this capital and throughout the
country.
At
least two other U.S. soldiers were injured in these
confrontations, in which a shock force participated
comprised of troops loyal to the government of Prime
Minister Nuri al Maliki.
With the latest three deaths reported, the
independent media estimated the number of U.S.
officers and soldiers killed in resistance actions
since the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of this
Middle Eastern country at 2,876.
