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.

These missions included support to coalition troops, infrastructure protection, reconstruction activities and operations to deter and disrupt terrorist activities.
Additionally, 16 Air Force, Navy, Army and Royal Air Force ISR aircraft flew missions in support of operations in Iraq. Air Force fighter aircraft performed in non-traditional ISR roles with their electro-optical and infrared sensors.

But relatives of those killed disputed the U.S. account, saying their family had nothing to do with any terrorist group. "This is an ugly criminal act by the U.S. soldiers against Iraqi citizens," said Manal Jassim, who lost her parents and other relatives in the attack, told Associated Press Television News. The country's major Sunni clerical organization, the Association of Muslim Scholars, condemned the attack as a "terrorist massacre."	(deaths previously reported)

"The blood has been spilled in Iraq of more than 4,000 foreigners who came to fight," said the man, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir _ also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri _ the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The voice could not be independently identified.

"The attack lasted almost an hour and appeared to be well co-ordinated, including rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire," the Chief of the Defence Force, Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston, said last night. "The Australian soldiers withdrew from the area - under considerable fire - without loss of life, injury or serious damage to equipment and vehicles."
