FACTBOX-Military and civilian deaths in Iraq

Tue Nov 6, 2007 11:54am EST

(Updates tolls)

Nov 6 (Reuters) - Seven U.S. personnel were killed in Iraq on Monday, the U.S. military said, making 2007 the deadliest year for U.S. forces in the country.

One of the highest daily tolls in weeks, Monday's deaths took the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq this year to 853. The worst previous year was 2004, when 849 deaths were recorded.

The U.S. military said five U.S. soldiers were killed in two separate roadside bomb attacks in Iraq on Monday near the oil-refining city of Baiji, 180 km (110 miles) north of Baghdad.

A sixth soldier was killed in western Anbar province. The seventh, a sailor, was killed on Monday in an explosion during operations in Salahuddin province, the military said.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq and Iraqi civilians killed in attacks since the U.S.-led invasion in March, 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 3,856

Britain 171

Other nations 134

2. I was wondering what happened to the reports of killed soldiers
and sadly, I expect the number of big attacks to rise on the run-up to Thanksgiving. It's not uncommon for enemy forces to take into account holidays.

6. That's a real shame--I thought the downturn in troop deaths might hold
if the civilian death toll remains down, but apparently they're not related. They might not be killing each other as much, but somebody's still bent on killing our guys.
