TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers killed 46 Iraqis and captured eight in a series of attempted ambushes on U.S. convoys in the central Iraqi city of Samarra on Sunday, a US military spokesman said.

"The fourth infantry division repelled multiple ambush attacks," Lieutenant Colonel William MacDonald told reporters, adding that at least 18 attackers, five U.S. soldiers and a civilian traveling with the convoys also were wounded during the ambushes.

Considering that's a Reuters report I'm surprised they didn't throw something in about US forces violating the "civil rights" of thos Iraqi "resistance fighters".

I've been praying this Scripture for our soldiers:

Ezra 8:31
"Then we journeyed ... and the hand of our God was over us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and the ambushes by the way."
