Three U.S. Marines Die in Western Iraq
By Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq --
Three U.S. Marines were killed in action Wednesday west of the Iraqi
capital, the U.S. military said.
A statement from the command said the deaths occurred in Anbar
province "while conducting security and stability operations."
No further details were released due to security, the statement added.
Anbar province extends from the western suburbs of Baghdad and extends
to the borders with Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
It includes such restive insurgency centers as Fallujah, Ramadi and
Qaim.
As of Wednesday, 796 U.S. service members had died since the beginning
of military operations in Iraq in March 2003, according to the
Department of Defense.
Of those, 581 died as a result of hostile action and 215 died of
non-hostile causes.
It was unclear if the latest deaths were included in that count.
