US Deaths in Iraq 2011 (amended title)
Moderator's Note: Title changed on 1st July 2011 from 'Five more dead Americans' to 'US Deaths in Iraq 2011', which seems more suitable as tally of the losses.

BAGHDAD – Five American soldiers were killed in an attack in central Iraq on Monday, marking one of the deadliest days for the American military since the combat mission ended nine months ago.
United States officials provided no additional details on the attacks, but an Iraqi security official said the soldiers were killed after multiple rockets struck an American base in southeast Baghdad. American military officials would not confirm those events.
Iran with blood on its hands again?
I don't normally post on this forum but I saw this on the b.b.c website- as soon as I read about "powerful rockets" with special fuses I immediately thought of the indirect fire attack to which you refer. It stinks of Iranian Revolutionary Gaurd involvement. We'll have to wait and see...
