Shiite militants from the Mahdi Army are suspected of killing three U.S. soldiers in two separate rocket and mortar attacks in Baghdad on Sunday. More than 30 others were injured.
One strike targeted the heavily fortified green zone, killing two of the soldiers and injuring 17 others.
The second attack was on a U.S. army base, killing a third soldier and wounding 14.
These attacks come as joint U.S-Iraqi forces battle Shiite militias in Sadr City, a district of Baghdad.

Hope all of your loved ones stay safe and come home soon! Does anyone know of a web site to get more up-to-date info on daily happenings in Baghdad and Iraq? The information that preceeded these posts has not made the mainstream news here in the USA. I will continue to check back to see if anyone has knows of one. I'm sure all the families and relatives of our service people would appreciate knowing of one. Probably a lot of our service people would also as they are often kept in the dark about what is going on in their vicinity. Does anyone know which base was hit? Thanks and my best wishes to all of you.
Now I know what every body is feeling that has a love one fighting over in Iraq. I pray for everybody that has a loved one friend or anybod else over there. My kids mom is over there right now. She works for Affees. They have to go for inventory. She will only be gone for 30days but with everything that is going on, it kills me that I worry so much if she is going to be ok. Ya she is my ex but being the mother of my children it is hard.
How many Iraqi people do we need to kill before we have won the war? Where are those WMD we invaded Iraq for? 300+ WMD are in Israel. It's is no wonder we are no longer loved and respected, but rather, hated and feared. Our international politics are lopsided towards Israel and against all other nations who do not like or want Israel to continue the destruction of the middle east in general and Palestine in particular. Where is Osama Bin Laden? How come we haven't managed to find him? Could it be that the entire middle east population (other than Israel) supports his struggle against meddling and bombing brown people in the middle east? Our fine young service men and women could be doing something useful, like helping the people of Haiti, or working in the Appalachian Mountains. But no. We have to send jar heads all over the world killing and bombing everyone and everything in sight. I am disappointed that our president said he was going to bring the troops home, but instead he sends more of them over to Afghanistan to kill more brown people over there. This is very unfortunate indeed.
