The US military hospital in Landstuhl, western Germany, said Sunday that it had treated 419 wounded US soldiers from Iraq last week.

On Thursday alone 104 wounded Americans soldiers were brought in by planes and 70 on Saturday, Marie Shaw, a hospital spokeswoman, told local media.

Most of the soldiers were wounded in Fallujah, where US forces had a fierce battle with Iraqi insurgents, and 196 of them were further flown to the United States after initial treatment, Shaw said.

The US hospital in Landstuhl, Rheinland-Pfalz, is the largest military medical facility outside the United States and has up to 300 patient beds. Enditem
