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.

#7: BAGHDAD, Iraq - Civilian security contractors wounded two Fort Lewis soldiers in a case of friendly fire Saturday, capping a violent day in the western neighborhood of Ghazaliyah. It happened in an area known among troops as RPG Alley, short for the rocket-propelled grenades favored by enemy fighters. The soldiers were hurt while trying to stop an ambush on a supply convoy the contractors were guarding. The contractors "obviously didn't know we were there. They saw shooting and returned fire," said Capt. Matt Pike of Lacey, commander of Comanche Company of the 1st Battalion of the 23rd Infantry Regiment. One of the C Company soldiers was shot in the leg. The other was hit in the face with shrapnel. The injuries were minor, and both men are expected to be fit enough to return to duty today, Pike said. The Army wasn't releasing their names pending notification of their families.				2
Two tractor-trailers from the convoy were engulfed in flames, and a pickup used by the security contractors was destroyed. The contractors didn't stick around, so it's unknown whether they had casualties. It was the second attack Saturday on Comanche Company near the infamous RPG Alley.
#8: Five people were wounded when several mortar rounds landed in Bab al-Muadham district of Baghdad, police said.		5
Abu Ghraib:
#1: Three civilian drivers were killed when insurgents launched a combined attack of small-arms fire and a roadside bomb targeting an Iraqi army convoy near Abu Ghraib on the western outskirts of Baghdad, an official said.	3

Diyala Prv:
#1: In the mixed Diyala province northeast of Baghdad, a scene of relentless violence, five people were killed in a series of attacks. Among the dead was a police officer shot near his home in the provincial capital of Baquba.	5
Tikrit:
#1: Also Saturday, a senior officer was attacked in Tikrit after dinner breaking his Ramadan fast. Police Col. Ismaiel Chehayyan was at a friend's house in the city center when unknown assailants stormed the building, killing the officer and wounding the host, police said.	1	1

Sunni rebels said they had executed 10 Shiites from India and Pakistan. The Al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sunna group said it had executed the men as they crossed the badlands west of Baghdad, claiming they had been sent by the Iranian-linked Badr movement, a former militia. "A convoy transporting rejectionists from India and Pakistan was ambushed in Al-Anbar region while en route to Syria," said an Internet statement Sunday, using a term employed by radical Sunni Islamists to refer to Shiites. Pictures showed the men's purported ID cards with the statement saying they had been executed.	10
