| US monthly toll in Iraq at lowest since invasion |
 |
Eleven
US soldiers were killed in Iraq in July, the lowest monthly toll since
the 2003 invasion, according Pentagon figures, highlighting what US
commanders say is a marked drop in overall violence.
The number
compares with the deadliest month of November 2004 when 137 American
troops were slain, an independent toll by icasualties.org showed. The
previous low was in May this year when 19 soldiers were killed.
