Iraq's Deadliest Month in '09

For American troops in Iraq, April was the deadliest month this year. Two marines and one sailor were killed on Thursday while conducting operations in Anbar Province. At least 18 troops have died this past month, as a result of more insurgent bombings—the most since 25 were killed last September. Despite this recent spike of violence there, the U.S. will continue with its withdrawal schedule, pulling out from the first Iraqi cities by June.
