"Wave of Attacks Claim U.S. Casualties in Iraq Mon May 26, 2003 07:13 PM ET By Nadim Ladki
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed and others wounded in Iraqi ambushes and an explosion on Monday and, in another incident, U.S. forces seized a brother-in-law of Saddam Hussein, the U.S. military said. The U.S. fatalities were among the rare few attributed to "hostile actions" since President Bush declared the end of major combat in Iraq on May 1 -- three weeks after a U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam. 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 ripped through 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."
