Estimates for the number of fighters in each country vary.

The number of such fighters has been placed at 300 to 3,000, an administration official said today.

On 24 June, the number of fighters deployed was reduced from six to four.

It can accommodate over 40 bombers and a small number of fighters.

Marines have been running into a growing number of foreign fighters in the south, commanders say.

It looks as if they can't bring a large number of fighters through that way at the same time.

The number of fighters available declined from late January, however.

The number of fighters who died at the barracks might have been higher than 300.

Military and intelligence officials now believe that the number of foreign fighters who have entered Iraq is relatively small.

A large number of fighters were killed, officials said.
