Last week's list updated with released names.
IBC reports 1,378 civilians counted killed in March, 80 children (almost four a day) with 50 directly related to coalition forces, one way or the other.
THE WOUNDED
Another amazing story: The Plymouth Royal Marine called a 'real hero' by Prince Harry has vowed to run a marathon - despite losing an arm and a leg in an explosion in Afghanistan.
More from this week:
Commando Ben McBean lost an arm and leg when he was blown up by a Taliban landmine in Afghanistan a month ago.
It's hard for Army Specialist Jason Kvasnak to remember every single explosion he survived in Iraq."We were in several IED (improvised explosive device) blasts throughout the tour," Kvasnak said.AnotherBut Kvasnak remember the one that left him with the injuries no one saw coming....
Kvasnak hasn't been able to see straight since that blast. He sees double, has sensitivity to light and the headaches he gets from trying to read or watch TV are so bad that he sometimes passes out.
IN THEIR OWN WORDSNgo tells the smoker about the grenades, and about the shrapnel that ripped through his brain and left him unable to walk or even to put simple words together.
After he arrived at the [Walter Reed] hospital, he says, he e-mailed friends to tell them what had happened. He thought he had written the full story. But, he says, when his mom read it to him afterward, his story was only six words long:
"Three. Bang. Head. Grenade. Ouch. Hospital."
NYT does "six of the fallen", in their own words.
