WAR
DEAD & WOUNDED - ALL IN A SINGLE
DAY - SEPTEMBER 29,
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.
