Iraq roadside bombing kills 3 Americans
Source: LAT

Reporting from Irbil, Iraq -- Three Americans were killed on Memorial Day in a roadside bombing near the city of Fallouja in Iraq's Anbar province, the U.S. military said Tuesday.

The dead included a U.S. soldier, a Department of Defense contractor and a civilian State Department employee. They were returning from a visit to a wastewater treatment plant under construction in the city when their car drove over an improvised explosive device, U.S. officials said.

Two people in the convoy were wounded, a military statement said, without specifying whether they were soldiers or civilians.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad identified the State Department employee as Terrence Barnich of Chicago, who had been serving as deputy director of the Iraq transition assistance office at the embassy.
