I don't know to which units these soldiers belonged. However, I can tell you they were not from the 1st Brigade. That is all I know at this point.
Eight soldiers from a Germany-based 1st Armored Division unit were killed Thursday when a car bomb exploded as the soldiers cleared a road of explosives south of Baghdad, military officials said.
The bombing that killed the eight 1st AD soldiers happened at 11:30 a.m. near the town of Mahmoudiyah, where the team was removing roadside bombs from a key highway south of the capital, officials said in a statement. A driver in a station wagon neared the team then ?detonated an explosive device,? killing eight soldiers and wounding four, the statement said.
