In Western Iraq, an American marine was killed in action, as reported in a military statement.
The document claims only that the soldier was assigned to the First Marine Expeditionary Force in Falluja and died on Tuesday in al-Anbar area, west of Baghdad.
No further details were available, as routine.
In the area of al-Anbar, the struggle against the US army is quite violent, despite of all the soldiers used and attacks made, America's hope to free this area has yet to be realized.
