WAR
DEAD & WOUNDED - ALL IN A SINGLE
DAY - SEPTEMBER 23,
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:
MORE than 7,000 Brits have been
injured in Iraq since the US-led
invasion, it emerged last night.
The official figures, released
for the first time since the
conflict started, expose the
brutal reality of the war on
terror. Between March 2003 and
July this year, 7,308 UK military
personnel and civilians were
wounded. Some 4,438 were serious
enough to be evacuated. The MoD
admitted UK casualties could
be even higher as it is still
searching records. It is feared
the true figure could top 10,000. |
