Hmmm, weird. I see the article I linked to has been replaced by a different story, and the story of 2 US KIA's has vanished from Yahoo. Does this kind of thing happen often?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2003 - Two American soldiers were killed by insurgents in
separate attacks in the Iraqi city of Mosul today, according to U.S. Central Command [http://www.centcom.mil].

In east Mosul, a 101st
Airborne Division [http://www.campbell.army.mil/division.htm] soldier was killed and another was wounded, a CENTCOM news
release reported, when insurgents mounted a late-morning assault with small-arms
fire from two vehicles.

Later in the day, one 101st Airborne Division soldier was killed and three were
wounded in Mosul as their convoy encountered an improvised
explosive device [http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/data/i/02544.html] and came under small-arms fire, according to another
CENTCOM news release.

The names of the killed and wounded are being withheld pending notification of
next of kin. Both attacks are being investigated.
