Groups: MFN-Iraq, MNF-Afghan, Iraqi Civilian Casualties Count, Journalists (Iraq)
September wounded: 358; October: 47; [a new section for wounded forthcoming ... soon, I hope!]
notes:
The "battlefield" Afghanistan is HOT - you'll see it in the casualties this week.
If you noticed a pattern from the dailies, two totals this week that confirm:
- 280 teachers have been killed since the 2003 invasion, according to UN report.
- 60,000 people are currently detained in Iraq (International Committee of the Red Cross).
