Five U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq Attack
At Least Four Killed in Separate Attack; Bodies Dragged, Mutilated
BAGHDAD, Iraq (March 31) - A bomb exploded under a U.S. military vehicle
west
of Baghdad on Wednesday, killing five soldiers, the military said. At
least
four people, including one American and possibly other foreign nationals,
were
killed in a separate attack. Crowds burned and mutilated their bodies.
The explosive device that killed the American soldiers blew up when their
vehicle ran over it, U.S. Army Col. Jill Morgenthaler said in Baghdad. The
attack occurred in Anbar province, which encompasses Fallujah, Ramadi and
other
towns where anti-U.S. insurgents are active.

Residents said the bomb attack occurred in Malahma, 12 miles northwest of
Fallujah.
In an unrelated attack Wednesday, gunmen in Fallujah attacked two civilian
cars
that residents said were carrying foreign nationals. The occupants of the
cars
were killed and their vehicles were set on fire. Witnesses saw at least
four
bodies.
Footage from Associated Press Television News showed a charred body of one
of
the slain men, and the targeted vehicles in flames nearby. Some of the
slain
men were wearing flak jackets, said Safa Mohammedi, a resident.
APTN footage showed one American passport near a body.
Another resident, Abdul Aziz Mohammed, said angry crowds dragged the
bodies
through the streets, dismembered them and hanged some of the mutilated
corpses.
One man beat a corpse with a metal pole. Residents tied a cord to another
body,
tied it to a car and drove it down a street.
''The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like
slaughtered sheep,'' Mohammed said. ''I saw it myself.''
The identities of the slain men were unclear. One resident displayed what
appeared to be dog tags taken from one body. Residents also said there
were
weapons in the targeted cars.
