Two U.S. marines killed in western Iraq
Two U.S. Marines were killed in action in western Iraq, the U.S. military said in a statement on Friday.
The statement said the two Marines, assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, were killed on Thursday "while conducting security and stability operations in the al-Anbar Province."
It gave no further details, saying the release of any information might be used to insurgents waging daily attacks on U.S.-led forces in Iraq.
The deaths raised to 1,071 the number of American troops killed in action since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003. |
