Voanews: Attacks on US Troops in Iraq Becoming More Lethal, says US Commander

The commander of the 150,000 U.S. troops in Iraq says the guerrilla-style attacks on his soldiers are becoming more lethal. Army Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez spoke at a Baghdad news conference Thursday.
General Sanchez says Iraq remains a dangerous and unpredictable war zone five months after major combat operations ended.

He said anti-coalition fighters, including foreign militants, terrorists and Saddam Hussein loyalists, have been inflicting nearly 50 casualties a week on U.S. forces, including three to six U.S. soldiers killed in action on an average week.
