Months after troop surge, violence rises in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three months into the U.S. buildup of troops in Iraq,
violence appears to be rising, both against American troops and Iraqi
civilians.

A body suspected of being one of three missing American soldiers was pulled
from the Euphrates River on Wednesday, and the U.S. military announced the
deaths of two Marines and seven soldiers in separate attacks Tuesday, bringing
to 80 the number of American service members who've died in Iraq so far this
month.
