The New York Times > International > Around 1, 361 Were Iraqis Killed in April:
"Volunteers hunting for bodies in Fallujah find a woman and her daughter in their home, killed in the siege but undiscovered for days. Chanting mourners bury two boys caught in the crossfire of a Baghdad gunfight. A morgue in Basra overflows with torn and burned bodies from a suicide bombing.

Victims -- young and old, women and men, insurgents and innocents -- have been piling up day by day, making April the deadliest month for Iraqis -- and Americans -- since the fall of Saddam Hussein a year ago.

Official and complete death counts for Iraqis nationwide are unavailable. But a count by The Associated Press found that around 1,361 Iraqis were killed from April 1 to April 30 -- 10 times the figure of at least 136 U.S. troops who died during the same period."
