FOURTEEN WOUNDED IN IRAQ
Fourteen US troops have been injured in the last 24-hours following two attacks in flashpoint zones west of Baghdad.
A senior coalition spokesman confirmed three soldiers were wounded on Tuesday in an "improvised explosive device" (IED) attack against their vehicle in Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad.
Another two were injured at Ramadi, 60 miles west of the Iraqi capital, also in an IED attack.
All five were evacuated to nearby medical facilities. The strikes followed a series of attacks on Monday which ended a two-day spell when the military recorded no casualties.
The official said nine soldiers were injured in four attacks in Baghdad on Monday. This included two soldiers wounded in small arms fire.
Another attack involved a hand grenade which injured three soldiers from the 1st Armoured Division. A further three soldiers from the same division were wounded in an IED attack.
The spokesman said a soldier from the 4th Infantry Division was injured when his unit was hit in a tactical assembly area by mortar fire on Monday afternoon.
US forces have endured an average of 12 to 15 attacks a day in Iraq since US President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat operations on May 1.

Nothing $87 billion and the UN can't fix. Everything is under control.

Are you bad-mouthing the war effort.
No matter how painful it is, this war HAD to be fought to preserve our national freedom and way of life

Fourteen US troops have been injured ...Wounded. Note there haven't been any soldiers killed (Thank God!) in the last 10 days, so now the press is going to start covering WOUNDED! So transparent.

Some place a soldier can buy a meal and a cup of coffee.
