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.

IRAQ
Baghdad:
#1: (update from 8-13-06 up from 47 dead) The prime minister's office says 47 people were killed and another 100 injured when a predominantly Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad was pounded by a barrage of rockets, bombs and mortars last night. A municipal official puts the death toll at 62. The discrepancy was not explained.	15
The death toll after a string of explosions in the southern Zafaraniya district of Baghdad has risen to 64, police and hospital sources said Monday. Another 160 were injured Sunday (update from 8/13/06 from 148 injured).	2	12
The US military Monday said a series of blasts that killed at least 47 people in a mostly Shi'ite neighborhood was caused by a gas main explosion, but the Iraqi government insisted the area was hit by rockets and car bombs. US ordnance experts found "no evidence" of anything other than a "significant gas explosion," US spokesman Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell said. "There is nothing that we have been able to find that would attribute to anything other than gas main explosion and subsequent explosions associated with that one," he said.
#2: FOUR Australian soldiers, including a woman, were injured in a rocket attack in Baghdad on a night of deadly violence in the Iraqi capital. The soldiers, part of Australia's security detachment, were injured when three rockets were fired into Baghdad's fortified international zone. Two fell harmlessly in the river but a third exploded near the soldiers' accommodation. Three male soldiers were discharged after treatment but a female soldier tonight remained in Baghdad's combat support hospital. "She has got injuries consistent with blast and lacerations to the head, internal injuries, bruising and obviously some shrapnel injuries as well," Air Chief Marshal Houston said. The attack, thought to have involved 122mm rockets				4
