another DAY OF BLOOD ON BUSH'S HANDS.... Deadly Day for U.S. Military; 14 Killed A U.S. soldier of the 2nd brigade, 23rd infantry regiment is covered in sweat during a patrol in southern Baghdad, Iraq, on Wednesday, June 20, 2007. PETROS GIANNAKOURISBy HAMID AHMED (Associated Press Writer) From Associated Press June 21, 2007 3:55 PM EDT BAGHDAD - The U.S. military said 14 American troops have died in multiple attacks, including five killed Thursday in a single roadside bombing in Baghdad. Elsewhere, a suicide truck bomber struck the Sulaiman Bek city hall in a predominantly Sunni area of northern Iraq, killing at least 16 people and wounding 67, an Iraqi commander said. Thousands of protesters also rallied in the Shiite holy city of Najaf, 100 miles south of Baghdad, waving Iraqi flags and the black and green Shiite banners with slogans such as "Death to al-Qaida" in a show of unity following the bombing that brought down the twin minarets of a revered mosque in Samarra. The latest U.S. deaths raised to at least 3,545 the number of American troops who have died since the war began in 2003, according to an Associated Press count. Gen. Peter Pace, outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon news conference that "we can expect ... there's going to be tough fighting ahead" as a result of the influx of U.S. reinforcements to Iraq. He said the military expects that "this surge is going to result in more contact (with insurgents) and, therefore, more casualties." The deadliest attack was a roadside bomb that struck a convoy in northeastern Baghdad on Thursday, killing five U.S. soldiers, three Iraqi civilians and one Iraqi interpreter, the military said. A rocket-propelled grenade struck a vehicle in northern Baghdad about 12:30 p.m. Thursday, killing one soldier and wounding three others, another statement said. On Wednesday, another powerful roadside bomb killed four U.S. soldiers and wounded another in western Baghdad, while two Marines died in fighting in Anbar province, to the west of the capital. Southwest of Baghdad, two soldiers were killed and four were wounded Tuesday when explosions struck near their vehicle, the military said, correcting an earlier statement that gave the date of the attack as Wednesday. Counting a previously announced U.S. fatality that occurred Tuesday, the latest military statements meant that 15 troops were killed over a three-day period. The explosion in Sulaiman Bek occurred about 10:30 a.m., and killed 16 people, Maj. Gen. Anwar Hama Amin said. The commander of the Iraqi army's 2nd Brigade blamed the blast on al-Qaida, saying it was the latest in a series of strikes by the terror network against government officials, whom they accuse of collaborating with the U.S. and the Iraqi government.
