2007 is America's Deadliest Year in Iraq

This year has been the most deadly for American troops in Iraq since the invasion nearly five years ago, US military figures out today show.

Deaths peaked in May when 126 American soldiers died in coalition assaults on insurgent strongholds. The second half of the year saw violence drop dramatically with the American surge of 30,000 extra troops and a freeze on activities by some militias.

As of last night in Baghdad, 21 deaths were reported in December, one more than in February 2004, the month with the lowest death toll.
