Iraq-USA, Military, 3/29/2004

The American occupation forces yesterday closed Sameraa city and started a large scale mopping up operation in it, using helicopters and armored vehicles following news on the killing of 6 American soldiers in it despite the fact that the occupation army admitted that only three were wounded.

This operation coincided with a similar operation in Falouja where violent clashes took place on Friday during which scores were killed or wounded among the Iraqis whereas one American soldier was killed and other 7 wounded. These all coincided with a series of acts of violence during the two past days during which 3 were killed and 40 wounded among the Iraqis by the American bullets.
