Thus Spake: *G* *O* *D* *S* *C* *R* *E* *A* *T* *O* *R*
By Kim Gamel in Baghdad
Published: 17 December 2006
A special Iraqi army unit backed by US troops killed one militant
and arrested six people during operations against a death squad leader
in a Baghdad Shia stronghold yesterday.
The target, who appears to have evaded capture, was believed to lead
a group of 100 militants who conducted kidnappings and killingsfrom
Sadr City.
The US military said that three more US troops died in fighting
this week,
raising to 54 the number of Americans killed in Iraq in December.
The month is shaping up to be one of the deadliest for Americans
since
the war started.
At least 25 of the US troops killed this month died in the vast
stretch of desert
that extends from the capital to the borders with Syria, Jordan and
Saudi Arabia.
The large number of casualties reflects the strength of Sunni
insurgents,
including al-Qa'ida in Iraq, in the region, even as violence in Baghdad
shifts
to a fight between Sunni and Shia extremists.
It also comes despite a decision by some US commanders in the
area to pull
troops out of combat missions and partner them with Iraqi army units as
advisers and mentors.
At least 2,942 members of the US military have died since the
invasion in
March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
