At least 29 US troops died in Iraq in February, the third-lowest monthly casualty toll for the US military since the American-British invasion in 2003. Troop fatalities declined from 40 in January, and from 81 in February 2007.
However, while the level of Iraqi casualties has gone down sharply from a year ago, 739 Iraqi security forces and civilians were either killed or found dead last month, up from 610 in January – which had the lowest monthly death toll since the end of 2005. In February 2007, at least 1,801 Iraqis were killed.
