These daily logs detail some of the many dead and wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, both military and civilian, of all nationalities. We are not aware of any source that authoritatively and consistently compiles or counts these kinds of reports.

Note: These news reports overlap in some cases. We've done our best to count a casualty only once. Where vague reports suggest "many" "some" or "several" we count a minimum of 2. These logs were compiled by Evan D. The following news links were compiled by Evan D.

Note:  Our hearts go out to the people of Israel and Lebanon as they suffer through the terrible recent violence there.  We regret we do not have time to track the death and mayhem there.  Like the prayers of so many others, our prayers are vague and faceless: God be with them all.

#1: The roadside bomb went off in Jalalabad Thursday morning while Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry _ the top U.S. general in Afghanistan _ visited a U.S. base in the city. The Interior Ministry said one Afghan civilian died. Dr. Ajmel Pardes, health chief for Nangahar province, said seven civilians were wounded, three critically.	1	7

Twelve militants and eight policemen were killed; nine militants and seven police were wounded, he said.	20	16
#3: In southeastern Paktika province, a roadside bomb on Wednesday killed two Afghan soldiers and wounded three in Waza Khwa district as they returned after a mission to help police surrounded by insurgents, said Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi.	2	3
#4: Meanwhile, in the eastern province of Nuristan, one of the country's wildest regions, U.S. soldiers and warplanes drove off an insurgent attack early Wednesday on a new American base, killing 19 militants, U.S. Maj. Tom Sutton said. The raid on the U.S. base at Kamdesh was staged by extremists likely belonging to the Hezb-e-Islami militant group of renegade Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the military said. The militants attacked from three directions out of forests using rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. Several hundred soldiers at the base, which lies in a small town but backs onto a sheer mountain face, returned fire with mortars and small arms before jets dropped four 500-pound bombs, ending the clash, which lasted more than two hours.	19
#5: It is with great regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that a British soldier serving with the Royal Logistic Corps has been killed in a road traffic accident at Camp Souter in Kabul, Afghanistan, on the afternoon of Wednesday 9 August 2006. No other soldiers or civilians were injured and there was no insurgent involvement.			1
#6: (update for 8-09-06) In another case, six ISAF soldiers were injured on Wednesday when their armored vehicle collided with a cargo truck in the southern Kandahar province, ISAF said in another press release. The accident happened on a highway, about 30 km south of Kandahar city, the provincial capital, at around 7:45 am.				(previously reported)
#7: While America's top general in Afghanistan was visiting a U-S base, a roadside bomb went off in that eastern town. A man and his grandson who were selling produce at a stall died in the blast. Five others were hurt. Local officials say the bomb blew up about 20 minutes after the convoy carrying Lieutenant General Karl Eikenberry and other officials passed the scene. But a U-S military spokesman contradicts that, insisting the general was nowhere near, and only visited the site two hours later.	2	5
