The first article I read was from CNN and titled "Three U.S. soldiers killed in Baghdad attacks". It was very detailed and told of the recent attacks in Baghdad. The first attack killed one soldier and wounded 14 at a military outpost in Rustamiya in southeastern Baghdad. The second attack which took place 30 minutes later took place in the international zone, also called the green zone, killed two soldiers and wounded 17 more. The exact location of the attack was not given. The article also talks about the violence in Sadr city and what is being done about it. Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had an exclusive interview with CNN and discussed what would be done about these militias and their attacks.
The second article I read was from the Daily Comet and titled "3 US Troops Killed, 31 Wounded in Iraq". This article was less detailed when it came to the two attacks that killed the U.S. soldiers but talked a lot about other attacks in Baghdad. The article also offers several quotes and opinions of people from Baghdad including a taxi car driver and a local fire official. The articles were both very informative but, despite having nearly the same title, focused on different issues. The CNN article was more descriptive and gave exact times for each attack and was more to the point. The article from the Daily Comet was less descriptive but let you know what the people in Baghdad thought and what it was like being around these attacks.
