USA Today: U.S. Forces Attacked 17 Times Per Day in Iraq

HeadlineOct 03, 2003

USA Today is reporting that Iraqis are now launching an average of 17 assaults a day against the U.S. occupying army, a marked increase in just the past few months. In September there were days when U.S. forces were attacked over 20 times. Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who heads the occupying forces said yesterday, “The enemy has evolved. It is a little bit more lethal, little bit more complex, little bit more sophisticated and in some cases a little bit more tenacious.”
