Deadly ambushes, suicide car bombings and roadside bomb blasts took place across the country, killing at least 10 Iraqis and wounding six U.S. soldiers. Ramadi hospital ambush U.S. soldiers were ambushed late Friday in Ramadi, a hotbed of anti-American violence 70 miles west of Baghdad, by insurgents firing rocket propelled grenades and small arms from the city's hospital and medical academy, the Marines claimed in a statement Saturday. Insurgents hid inside the Ramadi General Hospital and Medical College and in nearby areas waiting for the soldiers to move into their ambush zone, said Capt. Bradley Gordon, spokesman for the 1st Marine Division of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. "Some of the muzzle flashes of insurgent firing positions were observed as originating from windows within the hospital," he said. Officials from both the Ramadi General Hospital and Medical College, rejected the U.S. claims that they were used in the ambush, but said fighting occurred nearby. I categorically reject it!
Missing: Sudanese men Separately, police on Saturday found seven bodies apparently killed several days ago and dumped near a highway about 20 miles west of Ramadi. Lt. Col. Ziyad al-Jubouri said the seven were dark-skinned and didn't look Iraqi, while a hospital official said two Sudanese men asked about the bodies at the morgue. The Sudanese Embassy said it has heard of the grisly finds and sent an official to investigate.

#2 Good question, PR. Kevin Sites has a blog site: http://www.kevinsites.net/ However, his last posting was a November 21 letter to the "Devil Dogs of 3/1", the unit to which he was embedded. |
