Three U.S. Marines were killed in three separate incidents Thursday in Iraq's western Anbar province, the US military stated.
One Marine was killed in action and two others died of injuries sustained in action, the statement added.
Meanwhile, a dead man, possibly a Westerner or Turkish national, was located outside the western city of Samarra late Thursday, an Iraqi police officer said, according to AFP.
The body was discovered at 6 pm (1400 GMT) near Samarra at a road junction leading to Fallujah, said Colonel Nabil Kamal, adding the dead man could be a Western national or a Turk.
A doctor said the man was killed about three days before his body was found. (albawaba.com)
