US Army Uniforms Found in Warehouse East of Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Jan 31 (KUNA) -- Joint Iraqi and US troops found uniforms identical to those worn by the US marines in a warehouse east of the capital, revealed a statement by the US army Wednesday.
The statement quoted a US army captain as saying the equipment and uniforms found were enough to supply a whole army battalion.
Last week, some US troops were attacked in Karbala, southern Baghdad, by gunmen in US military uniforms driving similar military vehicles to those of the marines. Five marines were killed.
The policy which prevents Iraqi forces from checking the IDs of US troops at security checkpoints proved to be fatal for the American forces.
Meanwhile, three marines were killed during an operation in Al-Anbar, western Iraq, said a statement by the US army which did not reveal any further information about the incident.
With the recent casualties, the number of US marines killed in January comes up to 82.(end) ahh.
