Fourteen enemy soldiers killed in attack on U.S. troops

From Centcom.mil, where you need to go for the Rest Of The Story. You won't find the above headline in the New York Times. Don, Centcom.mil is also a good source for detailed U.S. casualty figures. ;)

If you go through the rest of the news article discussing the U.S. casualties, you also find this:

Meanwhile, in northern Iraq, U.S. troops continued raids targeting forces loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime as part of "Operation Ivy Needle," military officials said.

The operation had been going on for two weeks, and included 55 raids that led to the capture of 390 Iraqis, 57 of whom were targeted Saddam loyalists, Baath party members, and Saddam Fedayeen militia, 4th Infantry Division spokeswoman Maj. Josslyn Aberle said.


Again, not the fact that gets into the headlines. I suppose I should be grateful it's in the article at all.
