Going on

From the Associated Press: Four U.S. soldiers were killed Thursday by a roadside bomb in the tense, religiously mixed Iraqi city of Samarra, the U.S. military said.
Samarra, located 60 miles north of Baghdad, is among a series of towns and cities in central and western Iraq which fell into insurgent hands last year after the United States transferred sovereignty to the Iraqis. U.S. forces regained control last year but the situation there remains uncertain.
