The military issued a statement on Sunday
confirming that the last of the five fatalities occurred in the
northern city of Mosul when a roadside bomb exploded at about 1245 GMT.
Three more marines were killed in separate attacks in the western
province of al-Anbar earlier on Saturday, one in action and two from
wounds received in separate attacks on the same day. A fifth marine
died when his vehicle crashed into a US tank, causing it to flip over.
The deaths bring the US toll in Iraq to 963, according to the
icasualties.org/oif website. [more ]
