US army admits Iraq suicides
31.07.2003 [08:31]
US forces in Iraq have suffered cases of probable suicide, a senior military official said today, amid slumping morale among troops faced with daily and deadly attacks.
The senior officer, who asked not to be named, said that among 53 US military non-combat deaths since May 1, when the war was declared effectively over, were "probable" suicides as well as a large number of road accidents.
He did not say how many soldiers were suspected of committing suicide.
There have been a number of "non-hostile gunshot incidents" among US troops in that time, with suspected suicides and accidental discharges of weapons, for example during cleaning, included under the category.
US forces are facing an average of around a dozen attacks a day, hitting morale of tired troops, some of whom have already been in Iraq for months, while others have recently had their tours of duty indefinitely extended.
Deaths in combat against guerrilla forces resisting the US-led occupation in Iraq since major fighting was declared over on May 1 reached 39 today, and 153 the number killed in action during the entire Iraq campaign.
