122 dead since "END OF MAJOR COMBAT" Harris Whitbeck: Latest U.S. death in guerrilla-style attack BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) --A U.S. soldier was killed Thursday night in western Baghdad, the latest in a string of attacks on American troops in Iraq. CNN Correspondent Harris Whitbeck on Friday discussed the attack and the investigation of the earlier bombing of the Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad with CNN's Heidi Collins. WHITBECK: The soldier who died here [Thursday] night was on guard duty in the Mansour district of western Baghdad when he was shot. He was evacuated to a medical facility, but he died later of his wounds. The soldier belonged to the 82nd Airborne Division that has been charged with patrolling the streets of Baghdad. Since the beginning of military operations in Iraq, 260 U.S. soldiers have died; 122 of them have died since President Bush declared the end of major combat operations on May 1. And of those 122, about 56 have died in what the U.S. is now terming guerrilla-style attacks on U.S. forces here. COLLINS: What is the latest on the investigation into the bombing of the Jordanian Embassy there? WHITBECK: No one has yet claimed responsibility for that attack. There has been an increase in the death toll, according to the morgue at a nearby hospital. At least 16 people have been confirmed dead in that attack. As you know, there were dozens wounded. Most of the wounded were pedestrians who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. U.S. investigators are continuing to work through the rubble, trying to find evidence that might point them toward who perpetrated that attack. [On Thursday] Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who runs the U.S. military operation in Iraq, said the attack proves that there are terrorist elements operating in the country, and many people here feel that the U.S. and local security forces might be facing a new threat, a new style of threat coming from guerrilla-type terrorist operations.

scooter- i read the speech yesterday and i was really moved by it. then i watched gore read it on c-span (streaming video) last night. i read it much better than he did. the guy puts me to sleep. <g> i also watched hillary speak to the american constitutional society - she is sharp. she talked a LOT about jla and OOFie. she was very compassionate in describing their fear based illnesses. <vbg> a beautiful good morning to you sir, -polvie ps- i sold the sunfish. you were right about the cannon G5 (overkill) the G3 is the same camera, only with one less megapixel (which i don't need at all). i'm going to buy the G3.
