Death toll of US troops in Iraq ebbs in July (Extra)

Baghdad = The lowest monthly toll of US soldiers to die in Iraq since the 2003 invasion was recorded in July with 11 troops losing their lives, it was reported Friday. May 2008 had previously seen the lowest US troop toll since the beginning of the war, with 19 soldiers killed. The figures, reported on website www.icasualties.org, reflect a recent decline in violence in Iraq. Some 219 US soldiers have been killed so far this year, bringing to 4,127 the number killed since the beginning of the US-led invasion. A statement by Multi-National Force Iraq said that the last US soldier to die in Iraq lost his life on Thursday in a non-combat context.
