5 U.S.-led soldiers killed, 3 others may be captured.

Five US-led troops were killed on Saturday in a pre-dawn insurgent attack south of the Iraqi capital that left three soldiers missing and feared captured, the military said. “As a result of this attack, five soldiers were killed in action and three are currently missing,” Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said, without specifying whether the dead were all US soldiers or whether the Iraqi interpreter was among those killed.
