Islamonline: Four U.S. Soldiers Killed In Iraq, Iraqis More Furious

BAGHDAD, May 26 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - Four U.S. soldiers were killed and six others wounded amid a flare-up of resistance activity and street violence Monday, May 27, that highlighted the continuing dangers in Iraq.
Iraqi gunmen fired machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades at a convoy of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment near Haditha, 110 miles northwest of Baghdad, a U.S. statement said.
Hours later, an explosion rocked a U.S. military convoy on the outskirts of Baghdad, killing one soldier and wounding three others and destroying their Humvee military car.
"They deserved it and they deserve more. They are occupiers, not liberators," said Ali Abbas, a resident of the Amiriyah area in western Baghdad, to Reuters.
