NEW!!!! Two more soldiers die, US to cut back troops
http://www.namibian.com.na/2003/november/world/03635D73F.html
BAGHDAD - The US-led coalition said yesterday that two more American soldiers were killed in Iraq while an attack on a convoy claimed the first Polish fatality as strikes on coalition troops showed no sign of abating.




One of the US soldiers was killed yesterday near Husaybah, on the border with Syria, 335 km west of Baghdad.

The other soldier died and two more were wounded on Wednesday evening when assailants fired rocket-propelled grenades and small arms at a US convoy near Mahmudiyah, 30 km south of Baghdad, the coalition said.

A Polish officer was also killed yesterday after an attack on a military convoy 40 km northeast of Karbala, a Shi'ite pilgrimage town, the military said.

3. That's just when Google picked it up.
Quite often, older news will be posted and picked up by the engines.

9. Actually, brucelee is a troll too
He's been posting multiple threads on the same story on purpose to clog LBN.

I think he might be the same person as demi4ever.
