The Associated Press

Three more soldiers from a Georgia National Guard unit have been killed in Iraq -- bringing the total to eleven from that unit in less than two weeks.

Military officials says the three, who were members of the guard's 48th Brigade, were killed yesterday in a car bomb attack. Another was seriously wounded.

Identities of those killed have not been released.

The incident marks the third time in ten days that the 48th Brigade has suffered multiple fatalities from attacks in Iraq.

The 48th Brigade is the largest combat unit of the Georgia National Guard to deploy since World War Two.
