In Fallujah, two U.S. soldiers died Sunday bringing the total U.S. death toll to nearly 800. The total number of Iraqis killed is not known but it is at least 11,000. A new survey by the Associated Press found that 5,500 Iraqis died violently in Baghdad and the provinces of Karbala, Kirkuk and Tikrit in the first 12 months of the U.S. occupation. In the Shiite holy city of Kufa, US forces raided a mosque over the weekend killing 32 Iraqis loyal to cleric Muqtada al Sadr.
