"3 Americans die in Iraq roadside bombing" by Liz Sly, Los Angeles Times | May 27, 2009

IRBIL, Iraq - Three Americans were killed on Memorial Day in a roadside bombing near the town of Fallujah in Iraq's Anbar Province, the US military said yesterday.

The dead included a soldier, a Department of Defense contractor, and a civilian State Department employee. They were returning from a visit to a waste-water treatment plant under construction in the town when their car drove over an improvised explosive device....

It is relatively rare these days for US civilians to be killed in Iraq, but Monday's deaths bring to four the number who have died since Friday, when two defense contractors died in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone. One was killed when a rocket exploded in the zone; the other was found slain in his car.

"In all, at least 432 people, including 80 Iranian pilgrims, have been killed in violence so far [in April], compared with 335 people in March, 283 in February, and 242 in January"

Oh, so it's on the rise, huh?

Fallujah is a former insurgent stronghold that was wrested from militants by US Marines in one of the fiercest battles of the war in 2004.

Oh, yeah, about Fallujah: Memory Hole: Willie Pete

Yes, WE USED WMD THERE just like ISRAEL in GAZA, Amurkn!!!

Why does the must-know-about-it AmeriKan MSM omit that, readers?

The rest of Anbar remained under insurgent control until 2007, when Sunni tribesmen formed the Awakening movement and turned against the insurgency. Though the province is now largely peaceful, secretive Al Qaeda in Iraq cells continue to operate, periodically targeting US and Iraqi security forces....

Yeah, the SECRETIVE "Al-CIA-Duh!"
