115 U.S. soldiers have now died in combat so far this month — that’s the same number killed during the actual invasion of Iraq. Meanwhile the Associated Press is now estimating 1,200 Iraqis have been killed so far in April. Ted Koppel, host of ABC’s Nightline, has announced that the program will abandon its typical programming on Friday and dedicate the show to the soldiers killed in Iraq. Koppel plans to spend the entire show simply reading the names of those soldiers killed in combat so far.
