More Troops Die in Afghanistan than in Iraq

By Diane Smith

June was the second month in a row during which the U.S. and allied troop deaths in the Afghan war were more numerous than those in Iraq, CNN reported.

Last moth, at least 46 foreign troops were killed in the Afghanistan war while 31 troops died in Iraq. In May, the military lost 23 foreign troops in Afghanistan and 21 on the Iraqi battleground.

According to a Pentagon report issued last week, in many of Afghanistan’s areas the security is “fragile” and the Taliban insurgents have regrouped into a "resilient insurgency" after the group was overthrown from power in 2001.

The Pentagon report also showed that June was the deadliest month for foreign troops in Afghanistan since the U.S. military invaded the Middle Easter country in 2001.
