BAGHDAD -- A body clothed in a U.S. military uniform was found this morning floating down the Euphrates River 12 miles south of the site where three soldiers were previously abducted.

Iraqi police said the body was probably that of one of the three missing soldiers, but Army Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV said the corpse had not been identified. The soldiers were ambushed and abducted in a May 12 attack that left four U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi translator dead.

An Iraqi police officer who responded to the scene said onlookers reported two additional corpses in the river clothed in American military uniforms. But the witnesses reported that the bodies became submerged, and an American search team has not yet uncovered them. The officer spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information....

The case of the Euphrates River body was only one of the many tragedies to unfold in Iraq today. A suicide bomber killed 20 civilians and injured 30 in Mandili, a town of Shiite Kurds in northeastern Iraq. The U.S. military in Baghdad said nine soldiers and Marines were killed in five roadside bomb and shooting attacks across Iraq on Monday and Tuesday. The deaths raised the total number of American soldiers killed to 3,431, according to the website icasualties.org. Just south of Baghdad's Green Zone, gunmen stormed a marketplace, shooting customers. Four civilians were killed and 11 were injured, authorities said.
