U.S. deaths in Iraq: 2637- Civilian Deaths 58.457 - US Forces and Local Government completely losing grip on situation
As of Tuesday, at least 2,637 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 2,087 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers. The latest deaths reported by the military: A soldier was killed Tuesday southwest of Baghdad when his vehicle was struck by an explosive. A soldier was killed Monday in Anbar province by small arms fire. A soldier was killed Monday in a nonhostile incident.Bombs killed more than 40 people in Iraq today, including 24 at a market in Baghdad, where insurgents defied a U.S.-backed security clampdown in its fourth week. A further 35 people were wounded in the attack on the Shorja wholesale market in central Baghdad, police said. Attacks in recent days have shattered a relative calm this past month. A bomb attack in the nearby Karrada district killed two people and wounded 21 around the same time. A first device went off near a busy fuel station, drawing a police unit in response. Five officers were then wounded when a car detonated near them.
Three hours earlier, a bomb apparently left on a parked bicycle blasted a crowd of young Iraqi men outside an army recruiting office, killing 12 people and wounding 38.
