BAGHDAD (AFP) - Seven more US troops have been killed in action in Iraq, bringing the number of American troops to have died this month to 57.

A statement from the US-led coalition in Iraq said that two marines from Regimental Combat Team 5, which is based in Fallujah in western Iraq, died on Sunday following unspecified "enemy action".

Another statement said that an army soldier "was killed at approximately 10:45 pm (1945 GMT) Sunday when the vehicle he was riding in was struck by an improvised explosive device north of Baghdad."

And two more soldiers were killed and two others wounded Sunday "as a result of enemy action while conducting operations in Kirkuk province", it said.

Another two soldiers from the the same Task Force Lightning died in the central Salaheddin province of wounds sustained in fighting.

The deaths bring the number of US military personnel to have died in the Iraq campaign since the March 2003 invasion to 2,766, according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.

meme. Whenever the blood starts seeping in under the door, regular as clockwork the war criminals will start braying that all this blood requires more blood to make sure that the current dead, soon to be buried under the avalanche of new bodies, did not die for a lost cause.
