Anxiety, low mood, nightmares, anger, and concentration difficulties are common. PTSD is less frequent but present. Long-term follow-up screenings and combat stress teams are highlighted as essential support.

Military may shield diplomats after envoy slayings
The U.S. military weighs protecting foreign diplomats in Baghdad after al Qaida in Iraq killed three Arab envoys this month. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said coalition forces will examine security options, while some Arabs fear U.S. presence could invite further attacks. Iraqi officials noted two Algerian envoys were slain, including the chief envoy Ali Belaroussi, amid a campaign to undermine the Iraqi government.

Insurgent Attacks Escalate After Iraqi Government Declared
The Al Jazeera interview cited by El Watan notes a surge in kidnappings after the April 28 Shiite and Kurdish led government was declared. U.S. fatalities rose with two soldiers killed and one wounded by a Baghdad roadside bombing and another dies in a central Iraq vehicle crash. Insurgents struck Iraqi army checkpoints near Baqouba and Baghdad, wounding soldiers and police, while a Haditha airstrike killed nine insurgents. An explosion at a Baghdad train car killed two and injured several as al Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility.
