Six US servicemen have died in Iraq - five killed in Baghdad and the sixth by a roadside bomb in Tikrit
The deaths come just hours after a gloomy prediction by President George W Bush that "a bloody summer" in the country lay ahead.
April was the worst month this year for the US military since the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein in 2003, with 104 soldiers killed.
About 90 have been killed in May so far and the total death toll for US troops since the invasion now stands at 3,440.
Military strategists have deployed thousands of extra troops around Baghdad and other areas in a last-ditch attempt to drag Iraq back from the brink of all-out sectarian civil war between majority Shi'ites and Sunni Arabs dominant under Saddam.
The crackdown is an attempt to buy time for Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government to meet political benchmarks set by Washington, including a revenue-sharing oil law, aimed at promoting national reconciliation.
