WAR DEAD & WOUNDED - ALL IN A SINGLE DAY - SEPTEMBER 11, 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.

General News (In Country):        
#1: Iraq's oil minister said yesterday Baghdad was considering a new crude oil pipeline for exports from the northern Kirkuk field through Turkey to secure flows often disrupted by sabotage. "We are looking into building a pipeline from Kirkuk that does not pass through the area of other lines which are the target of sabotage," Hussain Al Shahristani said in Abu Dhabi. Shahristani said in an interview another pipeline is under construction and would be "finished in less than a month. It has a capacity of 500,000 barrels per day (bpd), which is enough for all of the output of Kirkuk for export". The pipeline under construction will link Kirkuk to the Baiji oil hub and pipeline intersection before it flows into a line to the Ceyhan port in Turkey.

#1: NATO airstrikes and artillery have killed a further 92 suspected Taliban fighters, the alliance reported Monday, pushing its toll of militant dead in a 10-day offensive past 500. There has been no independent confirmation of the casualty numbers from Operation Medusa, which began Sept. 2. Hostilities have prevented journalists from reaching the battlefield. Taliban spokesmen have disputed the high figures and said the alliance should display bodies as proof. 92      
       
#2: Canadian troops have pushed several hundred metres deeper into Taliban-held territory with virtually no resistance. The soldiers pounded the area with helicopter and warplane artillery Monday, then advanced about the distance of a football field. Troops found blood trails leading away from heavily fortified trenches, which many officers suspect have been used to launch rockets at Canadians. One soldier was lightly injured while demolishing a Taliban compound.       1
       
#3: More than a decade after the Coca Cola bottling plant in Afghanistan was ravaged by artillery fire, the company is back with a gleaming new facility in capital, Kabul.

The blast went off near a tent where more than 1,000 people had congregated in Tani district of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan at the funeral for Gov. Abdul Hakim Taniwal. He was killed Sunday along with two other people in a suicide attack outside his office in Gardez, the capital of neighboring Paktia province. 5 30    
       
#6: Afghan government forces backed by NATO troops on Monday regained the control of Garmsir district in the troubled southern Helmand province after heavy fighting, provincial police Chief Mohammad Nabi Mullahkhil said.

#7: Canada is preparing to send a squadron of 15 heavy Leopard tanks to Afghanistan to bolster protection for its troops against suicide bombers and Taliban militants, the Globe and Mail newspaper reported on Monday.
