incidents in volatile Anbar province in western Iraq, the U.S. military said

The two marines, assigned to the 5th Combat Marine Battalion, were
killed on Thursday due to "enemy actions" during operations in Anbar, the
military said in a brief statement.
The names of the victims were being withheld pending notification of
