Afghanistan deadlier than Iraq again for troops
It's the New Quagmire...KABUL, Afghanistan - More U.S. and NATO troops have been killed in Afghanistan than in Iraq for the second straight month. An Associated Press count finds that attacks in Afghanistan killed at least 44 international troops in June. About 30 international troops have died in Iraq this month. A record number of U.S. and NATO troops now patrol Afghanistan's dangerous countryside, exposing more soldiers than ever to danger. But Taliban attacks are becoming increasingly complex, and in June, increasingly deadly. Four attacks in June killed four soldiers. No single attack had killed more than three international troops since last August. So 4/4=1. How "complex" is it for AP to do the math? Posted by: tu3031 2008-06-30 |
