Ambush kills 2 U.S. soldiers in Baghdad
( 2003-10-10 22:28) (CNN.com)

Two U.S. soldiers on a routine patrol in Baghdad's Sadr City were ambushed and killed Thursday night, according to the Coalition Press Information Center.

Since the Iraq war began in March, 326 U.S. troops have been killed, 209 in hostile attacks.

Four other soldiers from the 1st Armored Division were wounded in the ambush, CPIC spokeswoman Nicci Trent said.

Earlier in the day, a suicide car bombing in Sadr City -- a largely Shiite neighborhood in the Iraqi capital -- killed eight Iraqi police officers.

Thursday's suicide attack was the first of its kind in the sprawling neighborhood, which used to be called Saddam City but was one of the places where the former Iraqi leader was most hated.

Also Thursday, a rocket propelled grenade attack killed a 4th Infantry Division soldier traveling in a convoy near Ba'qubah north of Baghdad, the U.S. Central Command said.
