U.S. Death Toll in Iraq Tops 100 in October

HeadlineOct 30, 2006

In Iraq, the U.S. death toll for the month has topped 100. October has been the deadliest month of the year for U.S. troops. In Baghdad, at least 30 Iraqis have died after a large bomb exploded earlier today in the Shiite district of Sadr city. The bombing occurred even though Sadr City has been under a U.S. siege for the past five days. In Basra, gunmen killed 15 Iraqi police instructors and two translators on Sunday. Overall at least 83 Iraqis died yesterday. Meanwhile on Saturday a U.S. air strike in the city of Ramadi killed six Iraqis including three women and two children. Local residents condemned the attack. Unnamed Iraqi: “U.S. forces demolished this house. We came in the morning and we found three dead civilians and three others were still missing.”
