I can't believe it! The NYT gets the headline right.

24 Insurgents Die in Attack Near Baghdad
By EDWARD WONG

BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 20 - Iraqi insurgents ambushed an American military convoy in daylight outside Baghdad on Sunday, igniting a battle that left 24 of the attackers dead and 7 wounded, American military officials said. The unusually bold assault appeared to be the largest by insurgents against an American target since the Jan. 30 elections.

Six American soldiers were wounded in the ambush, in Salman Pak, a town 12 miles southeast of the capital, said Capt. Patricia Brewer, a military spokeswoman in Baghdad. The attack hit a patrol of the 18th Airborne Corps as it was driving through town, officials said.
