| Summary: | They were soldiers, but they were soft targets. Three US troops from the 4th Infantry Division, guarding a children's hospital in Baquba, north of Baghdad, were killed yesterday by grenades. Four others were wounded. Was it another case of revenge? Only hours after the Americans had killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, the sons of Saddam, Qusay's 14- year-old son and another Saddam retainer in Mosul, three soldiers of the same 4th Infantry Division were blown up by a mine near the city. Qusay was supposed to prevent. The guerrilla resistance to the US occupation is clearly growing stronger. Who, after all, would have believed, when Baghdad was "liberated" on 9 April, that US soldiers would now be dying at the rate of almost three a day? Nine have died since Uday and Qusay were killed on Tuesday. |
