BAGHDAD, Nov 4 (AFP) - Six Iraqi soldiers were killed and 10 wounded in a
dawn battle with insurgents at a checkpoint in northern Baghdad, a military
source said Friday.

The attack took place on the day that most Shiite Arabs in Iraq celebrate
Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of
Ramadan.

Since the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq the holiday season has often been
characterized by an increase in insurgent attacks.

R.I.P. You guys sacrificed your lives for the freedom of your country.

Rest in peace.....
