Yahoo! News - 99 U.S. Soldiers in Iraq Killed in April
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Ten U.S. troops were killed on Saturday in combat across Iraq — including five U.S. Marines killed in pitched battles near the Syrian border — and an eleventh soldier died in a tank rollover, the military said.

The deaths brought to 99 the number of U.S. troops killed in violence since April 1.

At least 697 U.S. servicemembers have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.
