"April bloodiest month for UK troops in Iraq since 2003
British troops in Iraq passed a bloody milestone this week with the killing of a 20-year-old gunner in the southern city of Basra.
Eleven British soldiers have now been killed in Iraq this month, the highest number of casualties suffered by British forces in a single month since March 2003 when 27 were killed in the opening days of the U.S.-led invasion."
