US death toll in Iraq at two-year high - Video
With at least eleven confirmed deaths, April has become the deadliest month for American forces stationed in war-ravaged Iraq in nearly two years.
Of the 11 killed, six died in "non-hostile" incidents, two were killed by a roadside bomb in Numaniyah, Wasit province, and two died in separate mortar attacks in Baghdad and Babil provinces, a Press TV correspondent reported. The latest death occurred in southern Iraq on Friday, bringing to 4,452 the number of American forces killed in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion of the country that eventually led to the ouster and execution of its executed dictator Saddam Hussein, whom the US backed in the 1980s in his war effort against the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran.
