Baghdad (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed on Sunday in a suicide attack in Iraq's restive Diyala province, the U.S. military said in a statement.

The attack happened in Baquba, an ethnically mixed and volatile city 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad, it said.

It was not immediately clear if it was the same attack that Iraqi police reported in Baquba on Sunday, in which they said a roadside bomb targeting a U.S. foot patrol killed at least three children, two of them siblings, and wounded seven people.

no one dies in Iraq anymore.

it is a paradise of peace and prosperity.

there are still suicide bombings & bodies found almost on a daily basis....And other than in the fortified green zone, there is basically no govt. in Iraq...

www.icasualties.org

the terrorists were going to wreak on the American people. The soldiers experience terror everyday...the terror Bush orchestrated nearly five years ago against a country that had done nothing to the US.

Our soldiers are paying the price for Bush's terror.

I guess it didn't work.

Where's that guy get his info, anyway?

BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber detonated his explosives as American soldiers were handing out toys to children northeast of Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least three children and three of the troopers, U.S. and Iraqi authorities said.



Seven children were wounded in the attack in Baqouba, where U.S. soldiers wrested control from al-Qaida in Iraq last summer.

Iraqi children frequently converge on American troops who usually carry soccer balls and stuffed animals crammed in their armored vehicles as they seek to garner good will.

In July 2005, a suicide car bomber sped up to American soldiers distributing candy to children July 2005 and detonated his explosives, killing up to 27 people, including a dozen children and a U.S. soldier.

That occurred about nine months after 35 Iraqi children were killed in a string of bombs that exploded as American troops were handing out candy at a government-sponsored celebration to inaugurate a sewage plant in west Baghdad.

Killing kids inflates their monthly #'s.

BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber detonated his explosives as American soldiers were handing out toys to children northeast of Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least three children and three of the troopers, U.S. and Iraqi authorities said.


Seven children were wounded in the attack in Baqouba, where U.S. soldiers wrested control from al-Qaida in Iraq last summer.

The attack, along with a series of other blasts in the capital and to the north, underlined the uncertainty of security in Iraq even as the American military said overall violence is down 55 percent since a troop buildup began this year.

Police said the attack occurred as U.S. soldiers were handing out toys, sports equipment and other treats in a playground near Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad.

I want to kill them too.

But I know that death "fertilizes" them and more come to follow their path.

There's got to be a better way!

or what am I missing?

normal places, bombers would be
beaten to death

Of course it's not. Should I dig out the Abu Grahib pictures or poke around the various war porn sites to find unrelated images to counter your propaganda?

Do you deny that the Americans involved in the suicide bombing incident were armed combat soldiers in a war zone outside the safe confines of their base?

So I ask you, what kind of idiot would chum up kiddies with candy when they are in an area where they would likely face attack by hostile forces?
