Iraq
(Reuters) 10 US troop deaths were announced yesterday bringing the total for October to "at least 68." (AP) 4 killed by an IED in Baghdad, 3 killed by an IED in Diyala, 1 killed in an attack in Baghdad, 1 dead in Anbar.
(NYTimes) Two key generals/leaders of major units within the Iraqi Security forces have been transferred to non-uniform "advisory roles."
Also: The US arrested a significant Sadr aide, Sheik Mazin al-Saedi. "The arrest of Mr. Sadr’s aide, which took place in the early hours of Tuesday, enraged Mr. Sadr’s followers, who called for citywide demonstrations on Wednesday."
(Mike's observation) Three of the now hottest areas outside (north of) Baghdad were all areas where the US had pulled back passing control to Iraqi forces, Kirkuk, Diyala, Baquba.
(The reports of Iraqi deaths are too spread to get any easy total, with different sources reporting different events. It was alot. Maybe 100 reported. Reuters, other.)
