Iraqi mayor, U.S. soldier slain
Published:
Thursday, July 17, 2003
As a string of attacks on U.S. forces in Baghdad left one U.S. soldier dead and at least four wounded, a small-town mayor who cooperated with American forces, was gunned down Wednesday along with one of his sons in broad daylight.
The deaths came on the eve of the biggest holiday of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath Party. Thursday is the anniversary of the party's July 17, 1968 revolution and military officials have predicted a sharp rise in attacks to mark the occasion.
