HAGATNA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, Feb. 10) – Staff Sgt. Steven Bayow, a 42-year-old soldier from Yap, was one of two soldiers killed Friday in Bayji, Iraq, when a bomb hit their vehicle. He was the second man from the Federated States of Micronesia and at least the eighth man from the region to be killed in Iraq over the last 14 months. Another soldier from the FSM, Kosraean corpsman Bailey Elley, also sustained injuries in Iraq last week while he was tending to an injured soldier, said Samson Pretrick, FSM consul general on Guam.
