2 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq in Combat Operations
13, 2017
BAGHDAD — Two American soldiers were killed while conducting combat operations in Iraq, the United States military said in a statement on Sunday, adding
that "initial reports indicate the incident was not due to enemy contact." Five other soldiers were wounded, the statement said, without providing further details.
In addition to the two killed on Sunday, five other American soldiers have been killed in Iraq in the fight against
the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, including two in the battle to retake the northern city of Mosul.
Iraq’s prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, declared victory against the Islamic State in Mosul in July,
and Iraqi forces are now preparing to retake the Islamic State-held town of Tal Afar.
More than 1,200 Iraqi forces were killed in the battle for Mosul and more than 6,000 were wounded, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said this month.
