BAGHDAD - Iraqi police arrested 15 Shiite activists Saturday in early morning raids south of Baghdad, and five American soldiers were killed in two roadside bombings, officials said.

The U.S. troops were killed Friday — four in Baghdad and one in the northern Tamim province, the military said. At least 3,958 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

Saturday marked a third day of U.S. and Iraqi operations in an area that includes several Shiite holy cities — raising tension with some Shiite tribesmen and fighters who have pledged to halt attacks. Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered a six-month cease-fire for his Mahdi Army militia, but some members have broken away and violated the pledge, which expires later this month.

1. Anything that happens in our country is going to happen because "we, the people"

tell the Democratic president it must end now.

Over and over.

2. Gates arrived there earlier

The surge is working so well that dozens more Iraqis were killed by a roadside bomb today.
