The Associated Press counts at least 3,240 civilian deaths from March 20 to April 20 across Iraq, including 1,896 in Baghdad. The figure comes from 60 hospitals, with many records incomplete or undisclosed, and excludes some large cities.
In Baghdad the Iraqi director general of antiquities says only 33 main collection pieces are unaccounted for at the National Museum, not 170 000 as earlier reports claimed. Some pieces have been returned and 47 unaccounted earlier were revised downward.
In Baghdad attackers fired rocket propelled grenades at American troops at a weapons collection point in the city. One U S Army soldier was killed and another wounded. The soldiers were from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division. Names were withheld until relatives could be notified. No suspects were reported found.
Ahmed Chalabi of the Iraqi National Congress says Saddam Hussein roams near Diyala and Tikrit and has $1.3 billion in cash from the Central Bank.

Chalabi criticizes U.S. security efforts and urges Iraqi military police training with U.S. forces to curb looting.
