Pacific U.S. Iraq toll rises to 1,500 By Todd Pitman The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. military deaths in the Iraq campaign passed the 1,500 milestone today, an Associated Press count showed, as the military announced the latest death of one of its troops just south of Baghdad. The soldier was killed yesterday in Babil province, where insurgents frequently attack U.S.- and Iraqi-led forces. The soldier, assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, was killed in action "while conducting security and stability operations," the military said. As is customary in the military, the name of the soldier was withheld pending notification of next of kin.
