BAGHDAD — A roadside bomb killed four Marines in Fallujah province on Thursday, the U.S. military said yesterday,
Military officials also announced that a U.S. soldier died yesterday from wounds he suffered in a roadside bomb explosion in Baghdad on Friday.
No other details were released on the two bombings and the names of the Marines and the soldier were withheld pending notification of their families.
Separately, at least 23 people were wounded in Baghdad’s Sadr City yesterday when the U.S. military fired guided missiles into the heart of the teeming slum.
The blasts leveled a building 55 yards away from a hospital, Iraqi officials said. None of the wounded were patients in the hospital.
The strike, made from a ground launcher, took out a militant “command-control center,” the U.S. military said.
The center was located in the heart of an 8-square-mile neighborhood that is home to about 2.5 million people. U.S. military officials blamed the militants for using Iraqi civilians as human shields.
