Spike in Iraq Deaths Follows Grim Milestone of Dead US troops

WASHINGTON - Civilian deaths spiked in Iraq over the past week, around the same time the United Stated marked the fifth anniversary of the war and the milestone of 4,000 US troop deaths, a US military official said.

There were roughly 480 incidents of violence across Iraq last week, up five percent over the previous week, with a marked increase in high-profile suicide bomb attacks, the official said on condition of anonymity.
