Abductions and Attacks Surge in Iraq War Journal
Two US soldiers were abducted from an observation post north of Baghdad as American troops and helicopters scoured the desert. Across Iraq, ambushes and hostile fire killed two US soldiers and two Iraqi civilians while eight Americans were wounded amid frequent attacks. Witnesses at attack scenes provided most details as violence spiked. A U.S. special forces member was killed and eight wounded southwest of Baghdad, a Baghdad airport road bombing killed a soldier and wounded another, and a grenade attack hit a US and Iraqi convoy in west Baghdad. Two Iraqi electricity employees died in that ambush along with a U.S. soldier and Iraqi police.
