Two planeloads of US soldiers brought to hospital in Germany

(Ramstein, Germany-AP) Nov. 13, 2004 - More than 70 Americans wounded in Iraq have arrived Saturday at a US military hospital in Germany. Officials say most of the soldiers were injured in the battle for Fallujah.

A hospital spokeswoman says the new arrivals bring this week's new patient count to 412. She says the number of beds at the rural hospital had to be increased.

Military officials haven't said exactly how many soldiers were wounded in Fallujah, or the nature of their injuries. But 25 of the patients had to be carried on stretchers.

US and Iraqi forces launched the ground assault in Fallujah late Monday.
