Iraq toll now 148, surpassing Gulf War total

Ths should be the buttress in the Niger/uranium discussion the Dems make. It gives it the grisly context it deserves.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Coalition forces increased security Thursday in Baghdad in an effort to prevent Saddam Hussein's supporters from launching attacks to mark the 35th anniversary of the Baath Party's rise to power.

It is the first time the Baath anniversary will not be officially celebrated. As its first order of business, Iraq's new governing council canceled the July 17 holiday over the weekend.

Security is tight around Baghdad's convention center, where coalition officials often meet.
