10 marines killed in roadside bomb attack

A roadside bomb killed 10 Marines and wounded 11 others on a foot patrol near Fallujah, the US military said. It was the deadliest attack against American troops in four months.

The ambush was against Marines from Regimental Combat Team 8, based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, the military said Friday. The Marine unit has suffered some of the highest casualties of the Iraq war.
