美军将检验两具失踪士兵尸体 (US Military to Conduct Tests on Two Bodies of Soldiers)

美军表示，两具在伊拉克靠近尤素费亚地区找到的尸体据信就是两名失踪美军士兵的尸体。威廉.考德威尔少将星期二在巴格达表示，将进行DNA测验以证实身份。

伊拉克发言人星期二告诉记者，这两具尸体有遭受酷刑和虐待的痕迹。在因特网的一个网站上，一个与基地恐怖组织有关联的伊拉克叛军组织宣称两名士兵是该组织所杀害。数千美国和伊拉克军人及警察参加了搜寻这两名美军士兵的行动。同时，美军说，联军星期二在动荡城市巴古拜以北地区同时发动袭击，打死15名恐怖份子，拘留了几名嫌疑人。当地的伊拉克人说，至少有13个平民在袭击中死亡。

The U.S. military says two bodies found near Yusufiya in Iraq are believed to be those of two missing American soldiers. Major General William Caldwell said in Baghdad Tuesday that DNA testing will be conducted to confirm the identities.

An Iraqi spokesman told reporters Tuesday the two bodies bore signs of torture and vicious mistreatment. On an Internet Web site, an Iraqi insurgent group linked to al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the killings. Thousands of U.S. and Iraqi soldiers and police had been searching for the two Americans.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military says coalition forces killed 15 terrorists and detained. several suspects during simultaneous raids north of the troubled city of Baquba Tuesday. Local Iraqis said at least 13 civilians were killed in the raids.
