U.S., U.K. Say at Least 283 Fighters Have Died in Iraq Conflict
July 24 (Bloomberg) -- Since the war with Iraq started March 19, at least 283 American and British soldiers have died. Military officials have released the names of 233 U.S. dead and 43 U.K. dead.

U.S. Central Command said three soldiers assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) were killed in an ambush on the road to Qayarrah West near Mosul at about 2:30 a.m. July 24 when their convoy was hit by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. Names were withheld pending notification of relatives.

Hostile fire has taken 158 U.S. lives since the fighting began, according to the Pentagon. The U.S. had 148 combat deaths in Operation Desert Storm in 1990-1991, according to Defense Department data.

At least 111 coalition fighters have died since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1. Hostile action has claimed 54 coalition lives since May 1, 48 from the U.S.
