8 yesterday, 10 so far this month. While this administration is boasting how violence is down, the violence continues.

The U.S. military said Tuesday that three soldiers were killed the day before by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad, bringing to eight the number of troops who died that day.

Meanwhile, in southern Iraq, a roadside bomb hit a bus that was traveling from Basra to Nasiriyah, killing at least 16 civilians on board, according to a Nasiriyah policeman who spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to release the information.

At least 22 others were wounded in the attack, which took place about 50 miles south of Nasiriyah. No other details were immediately available.

An interpreter was also killed on Monday along with the three soldiers when they were hit by the bomb in eastern Diyala province, a military statement said. Another soldier was injured in the attack.
