Gunmen kill US troops in shock attack
Gunmen speaking English, wearing US military uniforms and carrying American weapons abducted four US soldiers in Iraq’s Shiite holy city and shot them dead, in what is thought to be the most brazen and sophisticated attack in four years of warfare.
The US military has confirmed a report yesterday that three of the soldiers were dead and one was mortally wounded in the head when they were found in a neighbouring province about 25 miles from the supposedly secure local government compound in Karbala where they were captured last week.
