Ten US soldiers were killed on Tuesday, the US military said on Wednesday, October 18, 2006, in a roadside bombing near Baghdad.
The blast struck the soldiers' vehicle as they traveled west of the capital, it said. The bloodshed brings to at least 68 the number of US troops killed in October, an exceptionally high toll that is likely to bring renewed attention to the Iraq war in the run-up to US congressional elections in November. At least 2,777 US troops have died since the 2003 invasion. |
