Baghdad: Six US soldiers killed in retaliation attack

The military vehicles were badly damaged in the revenge attack. US forces rushed to the spot and did not let Iraqis approach to the scene. The street was closed to the traffic until the bodies of US soldiers were picked up. A civilian car was damaged in the attack as well. "When I arrived at the mosque a huge blast occured. I threw myself on the ground," told IHA reporter Ibrahim Mohammad, owner of the civilian car. "US soldiers were carrying the bodies out of the car when I arrived next to the vehicles. I have seen just two bodies but at least six or seven US soldiers died in the attack." said Ibrahim Mohammad.
