Seven US troops killed in Iraq

Seven U.S. troops were killed in three roadside bombings near Baghdad, the military said on Monday, making October the bloodiest month for Americans in Iraq since January. In the far west, where U.S. marines have been fighting for months to stem a flow of foreign Arab fighters and funds from Syria, local doctors and tribal leaders accused American forces of killing some 40 civilians in an air strike. The military said it knew of no civilian deaths and believed it had killed an al Qaeda leader targeted by precision bombing. Two roadside bombings near Baghdad on Monday killed six soldiers and the military also announced the death of a Marine, who was killed by a similar device near Falluja on Sunday. October is the 4th worst month (93 killed) for Americans killed in Iraq-The situation has gotten worse, not better. BRING THEM HOME!
