MARINES MOURN APPARENT SUICIDE

U.S. Marines on Sunday mourned the death of one of their comrades, an apparent suicide.

Officials said they would not release the Marine's name until his relatives were notified. He apparently shot himself to death on Saturday night.

Six other Americans have been killed in the Somalia aid operation, but the death Saturday was the first apparent suicide.
