Iraq: Area Man Killed in Action

An Army Reserves lieutenant colonel from western New York has been killed by hostile fire while training Iraqi troops. Lt. Col. Terrance Crowe, 44, was a father of two. He was from Grand Island, north of Buffalo.

Crowe was the fourth member of the Rochester-based 98th Division to be killed in Iraq. Military officials said the attack occurred in Tal Afar, a city in extreme northwestern Iraq.
