7 Iraqi Civilians Killed, 6 US Marines killed

Good morning,

Todays killings include the shooting and killing of 7 Iraqi civilians in various parts of Baghdad. At least two corpses were found dumped in the capitol as well.

Six US marines were killed today by bomb blasts in Western Iraq.

In the meantime aprox 71 "Insurgents" have been killed in operation Iron Fist.

So far a total of over 290 people have been killed in the last 2 weeks. 1,950 US Troops have been killed since the US attacked Iraq in 2003.

Officials have been trying to distribute copies of the new consitution which Iraqi's are supposed to give a ye or nay to in 8 days. However, many shop owners, or other sub distributors have refused to touch the documents saying that participating in the distribution of this material puts themselves at great risk for being attacked.

I will continue reporting as more information comes in regarding the killings that proceed the October 15th vote, as well as the post vote killings.
