The ambush on the military convoy is thought to be the single deadliest strike on US forces in recent months. Falluja, 65km (40 miles) west of Baghdad, has witnessed some of the strongest resistance to US-led [occupation] forces. US troops have not patrolled inside the city since April after a three-week siege there in which hundreds died. The US military has launched several air strikes on suspected insurgents in the city in the past few months, with reports of many Iraqi casualties. The attack took place at Saqlawiya, some 15 km (nine miles) north of Falluja. "The vehicle-borne improvised explosive device which killed both Iraqi National Guard personnel and marines was detonated late this morning near Falluja," a US military statement said. "The explosion killed seven marines who were assigned to 1st Marine Expeditionary Force and three Iraqi National Guard soldiers." A military official told the Associated Press that the strength of the blast sent the engine from the vehicle used in the bombing flying "a good distance" from the site. The deaths raise to at least 985 the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq since the US-led forces invaded the country in March 2003. Record number of wounded Meanwhile, a report says that the number of US soldiers injured in Iraq in August is the highest since the war began. About 1,100 soldiers and marines are thought to have been wounded last month. Intense fighting in the city of Najaf last month is partly to blame for the high toll, the Washington Post newspaper suggests. The number of fatalities among US troops was 66, the highest since May, but considerably lower than the 135 combat deaths recorded in April. There are no official figures available for the number of Iraqi insurgents and civilians killed or hurt. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/middle_east/3630966.stm 1) Support Our Troops!

2,000 U.S. troops killed in Iraq: Russian expert By Vladimir Radyuhin MOSCOW, JULY 23. The United States suffers far heavier casualties in Iraq than it officially admits, a Russia military diplomat claimed. The actual U.S. military losses in Iraq may have reached 2,000 personnel, more than twice the official figure of 900, as Washington badly understates its casualty statistics, a military diplomatic source told the Itar-Tass news agency. "Official statistics do not include casualties among non-U.S. nationals who sign up to serve in the American armed forces in order to get a U.S. `green card.’ According to reliable information the share of non-Americans in the U.S. force in Iraq may be as high as 60 per cent," the source said. "The real number of U.S. losses may be as high as 2,000 casualties and up to 12,000 wounded," the military diplomat said. http://www.hindu.com/2004/07/24/stories/2004072402401400.htm — "Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens." – William H.
