HeadlineJul 22, 2004

U.S. marines yesterday killed 25 Iraqi fighters, injured 17 and captured 25 during several hours of fighting in the western city of Ramadi. Military officials said fighting began after a roadside bomb was detonated near a marine convoy and Iraqi fighters opened fire with rifles and grenades. Ramadi is one of the Suni-dominated cities around Baghdad where resistance to the U.S. occupation has been strongest.
