One Of The Worst Days For US In Iraq Updated: 14:57, Wednesday May 23, 2007 Twenty people have been killed by a suicide bomber and nine US soldiers have died in another day of violence in Iraq. A man wearing an explosive vest walked into a cafe in Mandali, a town 60 miles northeast of Baghdad, and blew himself up. The US soldiers were killed in a number of separate bomb blasts and shootings, mostly near Baghdad. In the worst single attack, three soldiers were killed and two were hurt when their patrol was hit by "multiple improvised explosive devices". There have also been extensive clashes between US forces and militias inside Baghdad with heavy exchanges of gunfire. The attacks came as Iraqi police found the body of a man they said was wearing what appeared to be a US military uniform in the Euphrates River south of Baghdad. The US military is investigating whether the body is that of one of three soldiers abducted on May 12 in an ambush on their patrol near Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad. The Pentagon has said it believes they had been taken by an al Qaeda linked group. The deaths means at least 3,431 members of the US military have died since the beginning of the Iraq War in March 2003.
