Weekly Casualty Lists: Week 24, Yr OEF+7

MORE FROM AFGHANISTAN THAN IRAQ ...

Update period covers two weeks.

The second two-week period with more deaths from Afghanistan than from Iraq.

Georgian army and Hungarian army in the news. (This may be only the second soldier from Hungary killed, in action or otherwise).

Two more mass graves, one in Diyala (Baquba) and one in Baghdad vicinity.

No airstrike deaths counted this week in Iraq (!). Fewer shawa members on this weekly list. Fewer car bombs, notably, on this week's list.
