US soldier held in slayings of 2 GIs in Iraq (AP)

September 28th, 2010

U.S. soldiers prepare to go on patrol in Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) north of Baghdad, September 5, 2010. Since U.S. President Barack Obama declared an end to combat operations in Iraq, U.S. troops have waged a gun battle with a suicide squad in Baghdad, dropped bombs on armed militants in Baquba and assisted Iraqi soldiers in a raid in Falluja. Obama's announcement on August 31 has not meant the end of fighting for some of the 50,000 U.S. military personnel remaining in Iraq 7-1/2 years after the invasion that removed Saddam Hussein.
