By CHELSEA J. CARTER (AP) -
…. The death raises to at least 4،347 members of the U.S. military who have died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003، according to an Associated Press count.

Also Wednesday، Iraq's chief prosecutor، Ghadanfar Mahmoud، issued a blanket order for police to release 36 members of an Iranian OPPOSITION group who were detained during a raid on their camp in northern Iraq in July.
The People's Mujahedeen of Iran has claimed Iraqi security forces have refused to free the men even though they have not been charged by judicial authorities.
The group operated for years in Iraq under Saddam Hussein، but nearly 3،500 members have been confined to a camp since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The U.S. military turned over responsibility for Camp Ashraf to the Iraqis on Jan. 1.
"(The detainees) should have been released by now... We have issued orders to all police stations to release them wherever they are،" said Mahmoud.
