AMANDA, Ohio (AP) _ A family spokesman says an Amanda, Ohio man was among four Marines killed last week when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Iraq.

The spokesman said Tuesday that military officials told

relatives in central Ohio over the weekend that Marine Lance Cpl.

James Kimple died in al Anbar Province. Spokesman Tom Taylor is director of Taylor Funeral Home in Amanda that is handling the arrangements for the 21-year-old. He says Kimple was returning from a mission when his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device.

The Pentagon says four Marines were killed May 2 in al Anbar

Province but is not confirming their identities yet because some

relatives still have to be notified.
