5 OH Marines Killed & 21 Bodies of Iraqis Found

From the Scotsman: Militants killed five US Marines, and authorities found 21 bodies near the Syrian border, where American & Iraqi troops bore down in 2 recent major operations aimed at crushing a tenacious insurgency. The Marines were killed on Thurs in a roadside bombing while conducting combat operations near the volatile Sunni town of Haqlaniyah, 90 miles NW of Baghdad, the military said. The victims, thought to be missing Iraqi soldiers, were shot repeatedly in the head and found blindfolded, their hands tied behind their backs. 3 were beheaded. Oh yeah... things are going so well in Iraq.
