Nine soldiers die in two attacks Ian Black, Middle East editor Thursday January 10, 2008 <http://www.guardian.co.uk/> The Guardian Nine US soldiers have been killed in two attacks in the first two days of a fresh American offensive against al-Qaida fighters who regrouped following the "surge" around Baghdad, the US military said last night. The attacks came as militants fled American and Iraqi forces massing in Diyala, a province that has defied the trend toward lower violence. Six soldiers were killed and four wounded yesterday in a booby-trapped house in Diyala. The US military also said that three of its soldiers were killed and two wounded in an attack on Tuesday in Salahuddin province, north of Diyala. Major General Mark Hertling, the commander of US forces in northern Iraq, said that in his area - Diyala, Salahuddin, Kirkuk and Nineveh provinces - 24,000 US troops, 50,000 Iraq troops and 80,000 Iraqi police were fighting. His presentation appeared designed to reinforce a message of success helped by mounting Iraqi resistance to al-Qaida by the Sahwa (Awakening) movement.
