Are Some Recent American Soldier Fatalities in Iraq the Results of Suicide?



From Sunday Times:



"US forces in Iraq have suffered cases of probable suicide, a senior military official said today, amid slumping morale among troops faced with daily and deadly attacks.



The senior officer, who asked not to be named, said that among 53 US military non-combat deaths since May 1, when the war was declared effectively over, were 'probable' suicides as well as a large number of road accidents.



He did not say how many soldiers were suspected of committing suicide."
