One soldier from Task Force Iron Horse died and four others were wounded when a bomb exploded at about 9:40 a.m. in the center of Baqouba, about 35 miles northeast of here, the 4th Infantry Division said.

Two Iraqis were arrested, including one who had a cell phone that may have been used to detonate the bomb, according to Master Sgt. Robert Cargie, a division spokesman in Tikrit.

The other fatal bombing occurred in the center of Baghdad about 9:20 a.m., killing one soldier from the 1st Armored Division and wounding another, the military said. The 1st Armored is due to leave Iraq in the coming weeks and be replaced by the 1st Cavalry Division.

The latest deaths bring to 540 the number of U.S. service members have died since the United States launched the Iraq war in March. Most have died since President Bush declared an end to active combat May 1.

6. Better be careful...

Rove has said that he doesn't want any casualties in Iraq past March. I wonder how he'll discipline American troops who end up being unable to comply with this directive?

7. 543 kia, 3040 wia

100 brits and other nationals kia, an unknown number of iraqi military and civilian casualties. If those responsible don't face judgement in this life, may they answer for their crimes in the next.
