8 US soldiers killed in Iraq
least 44 people were killed or found dead nationwide on Wednesday, according to police reports. The toll marked an upsurge in the daily carnage as President George W. Bush prepares for a showdown in Congress over the future of the US mission.
The deadliest attack occurred when a roadside bomb exploded along a busy highway during the morning rush hour in the eastern Baghdad district of Baladiyat. A medic at a nearby hospital said 13 people died, but a police officer put the figure at 15.
Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information.
Three of the American soldiers were killed and two were wounded after their Humvee was hit yesterday with an explosively formed penetrator bomb.
Two other US soldiers were killed and another wounded in an eastern section of Baghdad today during combat operations, the military said.
Another soldier was killed and two were wounded during fighting on Tuesday in the western Baghdad, the US command said.
According to the website of the US department of defense, the latest incidents took the military`s losses in Iraq since the March 2003 US-led invasion to 3,750.
