October: 103 US troops die in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A car bomb killed three people and wounded five others in Baghdad's Sadr City section early Tuesday, a day after a bombing killed at least 33 people in the overwhelmingly Shiite neighborhood.

The U.S. military announced the deaths of two soldiers, raising the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq fighting this month to 103.

More than 600,000 Iraqis have died by violence since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to a study released last Wednesday by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. The figure is based on surveys of households throughout most of the country. It vastly exceeds estimates cited by the Iraqi government, the United Nations, aid and anti-war groups, and President Bush.
