BAGHDAD -- A truck bomb struck a Shiite mosque Tuesday in central Baghdad, killing 78 people and wounding more than 200, even as about 10,000 U.S. soldiers northeast of the capital used heavily armored Stryker and Bradley fighting vehicles to battle their way into an al- Qaida sanctuary. The troops, under cover of attack helicopters, killed at least 22 insurgents in the offensive, the U.S. military said.

With lightning speed, the convoy of armored Humvees and Bradley Fighting Vehicles descends on this tiny hamlet in the volatile Sunni Triangle. The guns are pointed and the soldiers are primed for the mission. But instead of taking prisoners and weapons in a surprise raid, the soldiers take temperatures and pulses in an impromptu medical clinic.
There is one thing that both supporters and opponents of the war in Iraq agree on: Americans must support the soldiers, sailors, Marines and National Guardsmen who are fighting and trying to carry out a mission, with some dying and suffering brutal injuries. As the fifth anniversary of the start of the war occurs Wednesday, a few of those who have served in Iraq share vivid memories.
...The soldiers rolled out with four Bradley armored fighting vehicles, but they didn't get far...
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Gunmen on Monday assassinated Baghdad's deputy police chief and his son, police said, and al-Qaida in Iraq later claimed responsibility. Elsewhere in the capital, a huge roadside bomb destroyed a U.S. armored vehicle and killed two American soldiers, the military said. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle is one of the more heavily armored U.S. military vehicles, suggesting that the roadside bomb was more powerful than those typically used in recent months. The Defense Department said last week that insurgents were increasing the size and power of the bombs they plant as they escalate their attacks before the Jan. 30 election.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. forces battled insurgents loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in the Baghdad slum of Sadr City today, in clashes that killed 34 people, including one American soldier, and wounded 193, U.S. and Iraqi authorities said. S. tanks moved into the neighborhood and armored personnel carriers and Bradley fighting vehicles were deployed at key intersections. Ambulances with sirens wailing rushed the wounded to hospitals as plumes of black smoke rose into the sky.
