US force in Iraq under constant attack
'Almost every day, well-organised groups of assailants armed with assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars are ambushing United States Army convoys, patrols, checkpoints, garrisons and public offices. The US forces respond with house-to-house searches, arms seizures and force, sometimes killing bystanders.'

'Since Baghdad fell on April 9, 39 US soldiers have been killed by enemies and 41 in accidents, bringing total US deaths in the Iraq campaign to 182.'
