Copter Crash, Bombing Leave Four GIs Dead
Four U.S. troops were killed two in a helicopter crash Wednesday and two from a roadside bomb as American ground forces fought insurgents around the city of Ramadi, and a suicide car bomb south of Baghdad killed 22 Iraqis and wounded at least 60.
The four U.S. deaths raised to 2,032 the number of members of the military who have died since the beginning of the war in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
