The death of U.S. troops over in Iraq is keep going up as nine more U.S. soldiers were killed in two bomb attacks on Monday north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Six of U.S. troops from Task Force Lighting were killed when a bomb exploded near their vehicle. Another similar roadside bomb killed three more soldiers from the same task force in Diyala province. Although such attacks on American patrols and convoys are a daily occurrence, says the BBC's reporter Jim Muir, but the fatalities that are this high is unusual.
Whether or not the numbers of fatalities results from attacks against American soldiers were unusual, the death toll of U.S. solider had already reached up to 3000, and it does not seem to be stopping any time soon since there is no telling how long the soldiers will be staying in Iraq.
