PLEASE - LIGHT A CANDLE "JOEL" FOR OUR MEN / WOMEN IN HARMS WAY. ASK THE LORD TO BRING THEM HOME! This happens everyday - our children are being killed! Americans! BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Four U.S. soldiers the military reported killed in an attack on the governor's office in Karbala last week were actually abducted and killed dozens of miles away, U.S. and Iraqi sources say. The brazen assault, 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Baghdad on January 20, was conducted by nine to 12 militants posing as an American security team. They traveled in black GMC Suburban vehicles -- the type used by U.S. government convoys -- had American weapons, wore new U.S. military combat fatigues and spoke English. In a written statement, the U.S. command reported at the time that five soldiers were killed while "repelling the attack." Now, two senior U.S. military officials as well as Iraqi officials say four of the five were captured and taken from the governor's compound alive. Three of them were found dead and one mortally wounded later that evening as far as 25 miles east of the governor's office. The U.S. officials said they could not be sure where the soldiers were shot after being captured at the compound. Iraqi officials said they believe the men were killed just before the Suburbans were abandoned. GO TO CNN TO READ THE COMPLETE STORY!
