more killing

The U.S. command has released few details about the Thursday bombing that killed 10 members of the Marines' Regimental Combat Team 8.

"More than 20 troops entered there and a huge explosion happened," said the witness, Mohsen Mohammed. "Afterward, the helicopters and tanks arrived in the area."

Al-Jazeera broadcast a videotape Saturday from the Islamic Army of Iraq showing an explosion targeting a U.S. foot patrol near Fallujah. The tape did not directly link the explosion to Thursday's attack, but the Al-Jazeera announcer noted the Marine deaths as the tape aired.
