Four U.S. service members were killed Monday in the Sunni city of Ramadi.  

 

Videotape delivered to Associated Press Television News showed the four service members, still in uniform, lying near what appeared to be a walled compound.  

 

Residents in Ramadi, located west of Baghdad, said the Americans were killed in an ambush by Iraqi resistance fighters.  

 

Elsewhere, U.S. forces clashed with Iraqi fighters in Samarra, striking with helicopter gunships a residential neighborhood. U.S. 1st Infantry Division spokesman Maj. Neal O'Brien said at least four Iraqis were killed. (Albawaba.com)
