Last week, we learned that several US security contractors had been shot execution-style after their helo crashed north of Bagdhad. Now, details are emerging that the commando raid south of Bagdhad, in Karbala by insurgents using American vehicles, and wearing American uniforms captured and murdered US soldiers as far away as 25 miles from Karbala.

As of yet, Amnesty International, the EU, and the Democrat Party have not condemned the insurgents for violating the Geneva conventions.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Contrary to U.S. military statements, four U.S. soldiers did not die repelling a sneak attack at the governor's office in the Shiite holy city of Karbala last week. New information obtained by The Associated Press shows they were abducted and found dead or dying as far as 25 miles away.

The brazen assault 50 miles south of Baghdad was launched Jan. 20 by a group of nine to 12 militants. 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." Two senior U.S. military officials as well as Iraqi officials now say three of them were found dead and one mortally wounded in locations as far as 25 miles east of the governor's office.
