How many people died in the recent conflict between Iraqi people and the U. S. -

Insurgents and rebellious Shiites mounted a string of attacks across Iraq’s Shiite south and U.S. Marines launched a major assault on the turbulent Sunni city of Fallujah on Tuesday. Up to a dozen Marines, two more coalition soldiers and at least 66 Iraqis were reported killed.
    Troops were battling in a half-dozen cities on two fronts in some of the most extensive fighting since President Bush declared major combat over on May 1. U.S. forces fought insurgents in Sunni triangle cities of Fallujah and Ramadi west of Baghdad, and coalition troops battled Shiite militiamen of radical cleric Muqta-da al-Sadr in the south.
    "America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it", al-Sadr said in a statement. "They must defend their rights by any means they see fit".
    U.S. authorities launched their offensive against al-Sadr and his militia after a series of weekend uprisings in Baghdad and cities and towns to the south that took a heavy toll in both American and Iraqi lives.
    The fight against al-Sadr, who has drawn backing from young and impoverished Shiites with rousing sermons demanding a U.S. withdrawal, sent his black-garbed militiamen against coalition troops Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
    The U.S.-led coalition announced a murder warrant against al-Sadr on Monday and suggested it would move to capture him soon. It said an unnamed Iraqi judge had issued it in the past months.
