Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Two American soldiers were killed today in separate attacks in Iraq, the US military reported.

In one incident, a soldier was killed and three were wounded in a roadside bombing in Fallujah, 30 mile west of Baghdad. The dead soldier was from the 3rd Armoured Cavalry Regiment.

The second death came in an attack on a military convoy in Baghdad. The dead soldier was from the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade. No other details were given.

The deaths brought to 281 the number of soldiers killed since the war began on 20 March. Since President George Bush declared major combat over on 1 May, 143 American soldiers have died.
