Sunday, Oct. 15: 3 U.S. soldiers killed by IED |
From Reuters, 10/15/06:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) -
Three U.S. soldiers were killed south of Baghdad on Saturday when
their vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb, the U.S. military said in
a statement on Sunday.
More than 40 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq this month.
At the current pace, October would be the deadliest for U.S. forces
since January 2005.
Two to three soldiers on average die every day in Iraq, most the
victims of roadside bombs.
The U.S. statement gave no further details and said the names would be
withheld pending notification of their families.
The deaths brought to at least five the number of U.S. troops who died
on Saturday.
The U.S. military on Saturday reported the deaths of a U.S. airman
killed in Baghdad and a Marine killed in fighting in Anbar province,
heartland of the Sunni insurgency.
It is the most dangerous place in Iraq for U.S. soldiers, although
there has been a surge in recent weeks in the number of U.S. deaths in
Baghdad.
