Baghdad : The number of US soldiers killed in Iraq amounted to 3,975 after reports of another death in the western province of Diyala in a counter-insurgency operation, the Central Command reported Saturday.
During the action, a load detonated when a patrol passed by, and another US military soldier was injured.
Less than two weeks before the fifth anniversary of the beginning of US invasion against this Arab country, soldiers continue to die and Washington is losing control in the scenes where they operate, even in Baghdad.
Media has reported that the number of soldiers wounded in Iraq amounted to more than 29,300 from March 2003.
It is estimated that about 70,000 out of the more than 1,300 000 soldiers who were sent to either/or Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from buzzing in their ears and more than 58,000 are disabled by deafness.
