US SOLDIERS IN IRAQ TODAY ENJOYED LITTLE PEACE DESPITE CONFIRMATION THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN FEARED SON'S UDAY AND QUSAY WERE KILLED AFTER A FIREARM.

US troops killed as shocking images released

US soldiers in Iraq today enjoyed little peace, despite confirmation that Saddam Hussein’s feared sons Uday and Qusay were killed after a firefight in the country’s northern city of Mosul.

The occupying US forces released photographs of the bodies of the former dictator’s two sons in a bid to quell Iraqi skepticism they were dead.

The pictures were also released in the hope that confirmation of their deaths would demoralize guerilla fighters mounting daily attacks on US soldiers.

“The death of Qusay and Uday has been welcomed by the Iraqi people because they were a symbol of all the oppression which was imposed on the people of Iraq for decades,” , Adnan Pachachi, a member of Iraq’s fledgling governing council told reporters in London this morning

Still, at least four US soldiers were killed today and an undisclosed number injured in separate incidents around the war-ravaged country.

Four US troops and two Iraqis, believed to be members of the Iraqi resistance, were killed in encounters early this morning.

US military spokesman Corporal Todd Pruden said the soldiers were killed in northern Iraq when troops from the 101st Airborne Division came under small arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire.

The US 101st Airborne Division specialises in tracking members of the former Iraq government.

Pruden did not specify where or at what time the attack took place.

This morning’s deaths took the number of american soldiers killed by Iraqi resistance fighters to 45 since US President George Bush declared major combat operations in Iraq over on 1 May.

In a separate incident, a US soldier was wounded in southern Baghdad when a military vehicle in which he was travelling came under attack.

Occupation officials refused to say what happened in the incident, though an AFP correspondent reported a lightly armoured Humvee vehicle badly charred and the front mangled from an explosion.

Several residents of the area said an unidentified assailant fired the RPG from an alleyway at the passing convoy at about 4:10 pm local time.

They noted black stains on the wall of the alley, saying the marks were produced when the rocket fired.
