17 since saturday. And I had to dig this up on a Tampa Bay news website. Why doesn't this make the major news anymore?
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A series of bombs exploded in rapid succession in a shopping district in a mainly Christian neighborhood of Baghdad on Wednesday, killing 16 people and wounding 87, police said.
Scattered attacks around Iraq killed five other people, and the U.S. military announced the death of two soldiers - raising the toll of one of the deadliest periods for American troops this year.
At least 17 troops have been killed in combat since Saturday, including eight U.S. soldiers who died in gunbattles and bomb blasts Monday in Baghdad - the most killed in a single day in the capital since July 2005."
