WAR DEAD & WOUNDED - ALL IN A SINGLE DAY - SEPTEMBER 4, 2006
A compilation of news for a single day... and totals for the month to date...

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. The following news links were compiled by Evan D.

#1: A British soldier was killed and another very seriously injured in a suspected suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has announced. The blast happened when a four-wheel drive vehicle was driven at the convoy in the capital, Kabul, at around 10.30am local time.     1 1
       
Six people were killed and seven injured in Kabul Monday in a suicide attack, apparently aimed at foreign troops. However, the Afghanistan interior ministry said that only four people were killed in a car bombing in Kabul's Qalai Wazir area. According to a witness, the attack took place at 10.00 a.m. (local time), killing a British soldier of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and five civilians. An ISAF spokesperson confirmed the incident, but declined to comment on the number of casualties. 5 7 1  
       
#2: NATO warplanes accidentally strafed Canadian troops on Monday, killing one soldier and wounding more than 30 others [up from 7 reported yesterday] in a massive anti-Taliban operation that claimed four Canadian lives just the day before. The five deaths in the Panjwaii district west of Kandahar are the most sustained by Canada in a 24-hour period since the country began serving in Afghanistan in early 2002. The five soldiers were killed as NATO forces launched Operation Medusa, aimed at purging Taliban militants from the dangerous Panjwaii area, the site of intense fighting in recent weeks. The friendly fire mishap occurred around 5:30 a.m. when an A-10 Warthog was called in to support soldiers trying to take a Taliban stronghold along the Arghandab River.     1 23
Officials stressed the injuries were mostly minor. The injured troops were evacuated by helicopter, including a giant twin-rotor Chinook. "It would appear right now at this stage of the game that five soldiers will be evacuated back for further treatment beyond our local capability and the remainder of the wounded are expected to return to duty shortly," said Brig.-Gen. David Fraser, the Canadian in charge of NATO forces in southern Afghanistan.        
       
#3: Fifteen Taliban militants and three policemen were killed in a clash in the southern Helmand province of Afghanistan, an official told Xinhua on Monday. The clash occurred Sunday night when the militants attacked the center of Garmser district, said Nabi Jan Mullhakhil, the provincial police chief, adding 15 Taliban rebels were killed including a local commander Mullah Satar and 10 others injured. Three policemen were also killed and eight wounded in the 5- hour fierce conflict, Mullhakhil said, adding the militants had escaped and the district center had returned clam. However, a purported Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi said 16 policemen were killed in the clash, and only two Taliban militants lost their lives. He also claimed the Taliban fighters occupied the district's major government building overnight and set fire on it before retreating. 18 18    
       
#4: In Parwan province north of Kabul, militants shot dead two police including a senior officer, in the third killing of a top district official here in as many days, an official said Monday. 2
