5 US Troops Killed in Western Iraq
The U.S. military in Iraq says five American troops have been killed in western Anbar province, raising the death toll among U.S. forces in Iraq to 96 this month. The five include four marines and one sailor. A military statement issued Thursday said all died as a result of enemy action on Wednesday, but did not specify if they were killed in the same incident.
Also Wednesday, the U.S. military says Iraqi forces backed by coalition advisers carried out several early morning raids on militant targets across Iraq. In one operation, troops killed a militant in a gun battle in the town of Khalis in the eastern province of Diyala. In another raid on the Hillah region south of Baghdad, security forces detained 11 suspected death squad members. Iraqi forces backed by American warplanes killed 10 militants in a third operation targeting Baghdad's Sadr City, a Shi'ite militia stronghold of anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. Ten suspected death squad members were also captured during the raid.
駐伊拉克美軍說，5名美國士兵在伊拉克西部的安巴爾省被打死，使駐伊美軍這個(gè)月的死亡人數(shù)升至96人。5名死者中包括四名海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)員和一名水兵。軍方星期四發(fā)表聲明說，這些士兵都是星期三在敵方行動(dòng)中被打死的，不過，聲明沒有說明他們是否死于同一起事件。
另外，美國軍方星期三說，伊拉克部隊(duì)在聯(lián)軍顧問的支援下，凌晨時(shí)分對(duì)伊拉克各地的激進(jìn)分子目標(biāo)進(jìn)行了突襲。在其中一次行動(dòng)中，伊拉克士兵在東部迪亞拉省的哈利斯鎮(zhèn)的槍戰(zhàn)中打死一名激進(jìn)分子。在巴格達(dá)以南希拉區(qū)另外一次突襲中，保安部隊(duì)抓獲了11名被懷疑是殺人隊(duì)成員的人。在對(duì)巴格達(dá)的薩德爾城區(qū)進(jìn)行的第三起突襲行動(dòng)中，伊拉克部隊(duì)在美國戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的支援下打死10名激進(jìn)分子。
該地區(qū)是反美神職人員薩德爾控制的什葉派民兵據(jù)點(diǎn)。在這次突襲行動(dòng)中，還有10名被懷疑是殺人隊(duì)成員的人被捕。
