Friday, December 26, 2003

BAGHDAD, Iraq — As a massive coalition operation netted dozens of enemy forces in Iraq, including a former courier for Saddam Hussein, deadly attacks against the military killed five U.S. soldiers in a 24-hour period.

An American soldier died in a rebel ambush and two others were killed in bomb explosions Friday, one of the bloodiest days for the U.S. military since the Dec. 13 capture of Hussein.

3. Could be something here

3 of the 5 were lower "command group" personnel. Major, Captain and Command Sergeant Major. Could be coincidence, but I doubt in light of the "decapitation" strategy of American roundups of suspected resistance leaders.
