WAR DEAD & WOUNDED - ALL IN A SINGLE DAY - SEPTEMBER 12, 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: Six Finnish peacekeepers were fired at in Afghanistan on Tuesday, Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen (centre) said at a news conference in Parliament on Tuesday. The prime minister added that none of the Finnish soldiers was killed or wounded. The incident happened in Balkh province near the Uzbekistan borer in the north of the country, where the Finns had been patrolling together with Swedish peacekeepers and local police.        
       
A group of Swedish soldiers was attacked on Tuesday in northern Afghanistan by locals armed with handguns, mines and and handheld rocket-launchers. The Swedish troops returned fire and no Swedes were reported injured, according to a statement from the Armed Forces. The patrol, which was part of the international ISAF force and also included Finnish soldiers, arrived at the village of Boka in Balkh province to meet Afghan representatives at around 11.40am local time. Around 15-30 Afghans attacked the patrol and not until around 1pm did reinforcements arrive, allowing the Swedes to withdraw from the area. The Swedish Armed Forces said that it is still unclear if any Afghans were wounded or killed as the Swedes fired back.        
       
#2:Two days ago another Swedish patrol in a different province in northern Afghanistan was attacked. Trouble flared up when the troops tried to arrest a suspected criminal.        
#3: A fierce gun battle broke out in Ghazni province’s mountainous Andar district as Afghan soldiers and police, backed by US-led coalition forces, entered an area where insurgents were holed up, said Mohammed Ali Fakuri, spokesman for the provincial governor. Twelve militants were killed in the ensuing clash and their bodies left at the scene by comrades who fled, Fakuri said. Two policemen and one Afghan soldier were wounded.        
       
#4: A US-led coalition soldier was also killed and another injured when their Humvee rolled over yesterday in eastern Kunar province’s Asadabad district, a coalition statement said.     1 1
       
#5: Gunmen have kidnapped a Colombian aid worker and two Afghan employees of a French-funded nongovernment organization west of Kabul, police said Tuesday. The three disappeared Sunday in Wardak province's Jalrez district, said deputy provincial police chief Mohammed Assan. Assan said villagers reported seeing four masked gunmen take the three from their vehicle and force them to march at gunpoint down a dirt road. Police found documents identifying the Colombian, his driver and translator and their French Foreign Ministry-funded agency in their abandoned four-wheel drive.        
       
#6: Canadian troops are continuing their unchallenged advance as they move to enforce NATO control over the restive Panjwaii district in southern Afghanistan. For the third straight day Tuesday the Canadians encountered no resistance as they rolled south, approaching the southern front in this fight. The current calm is a contrast to the ambushes, rocket attacks and constant skirmishes of the previous week that killed four Canadians, one U.S. soldier and left more than a dozen troops wounded. An airplane accident also killed 14 British troops and a friendly fire incident killed a Canadian soldier and wounded dozens. Although the battle appears to be in its final phase, commanders say Canadian and Afghan soldiers will probably face weeks of mop-up operations in the area.
