Rough couple of days in Iraq

Six Multi-National Division – North Soldiers were killed by a house born improvised explosive device while conducting operations in Diyala Jan. 9.

Additionally, four MND-N Soldiers were injured in the explosion and evacuated to a Coalition Forces’ hospital.

Three Multi-National Division – North Soldiers died from injuries sustained during an attack while conducting operations in Salah ad Din province Jan. 8.

Additionally, two more Soldiers were injured and evacuated to a Coalition hospital.
Look for further information on these nine deaths on page 18A of your local newspaper.

*Update; It actually made page 6A, as an 'additional information' piece to another Iraq story, in my morning paper, The Detroit Free Press.
