Paratroopers killed as guerrilla attacks continue
Insurgents killed two US paratroopers and wounded another west of Baghdad today as the US military cracked down on residents of Saddam Hussein’s home town of Tikrit after guerrillas apparently shot down a Black Hawk helicopter there.
The two 82nd Airborne Division soldiers died today when a homemade bomb exploded beside their vehicle about 8.30am (local time) in Fallujah, a centre of Sunni Muslim resistance 40 miles west of Baghdad, the military said.
