Groups: MFN-Iraq, MNF-Afghan, Iraqi Civilian Casualties Count, Journalists (Iraq)
August wounded: 558 [a new section for wounded forthcoming ... soon, I hope!]
Some soliders reported succumbing to wounds sustained some time ago, included Sergeant First Class Anthony Raymond Wasielewski, injured in Ramadi with Company C. Spc. Adam D. Quinn, 22, of Orange City, Fla., died Oct. 6 at Forward Operating Base Phoenix, near Bagram, Afghanistan, of IED-related wounds.
Five journalists killed this week, one from WaPo.
Camp Victory, the leadership post near Baghdad airport, came under mortar attack, wounding 38 and killing 2.
The collateral damage has been undiminished, IBC reports
- October: 42 Iraqi civilians have been killed by US forces so far in October -16 of them children.
- September: 108 Iraqi civilians were killed by Americans (military and private contractors) in September -including 7 children and a 90-year-old man.
- August: 103 civilians were killed by US forces in August, including 6 children.
If the amount of violence is down, the brutality is not.
