Weekly Casualty Lists: Week 46

notes:

"Battlefield Afghanistan" is HOT - you'll see it in the casualties this week.
Lots of roadside bombs going off in Iraq.

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).
