Report: 100,000-plus Iraqi civilians dead ISN'T IT WONDERFUL HOW WE HAVE LIBERATED THEM ? WE SENT THEM TO THEIR MUSLIM HEAVEN I GUESS... DAMNABLE SAD I THINK. WERE THEY TERRORISTS ? COLLATERAL DAMAGE ? HOW MANY WOMEN AND CHILDREN ? Baghdad, Iraq, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A Baltimore public health expert says the Iraq war has killed more than 100,000 civilians, the Times of London reported Friday. Les Roberts of the Johns Hopkins University led a team of U.S. and British analysts in getting a death count. Their work will be published in the online edition of the British medical journal Lancet. The Roberts estimate is strikingly higher than previous ones. A group of British academics called Iraq Bodycount, which compiles figures from witness accounts and media reports, put the number of civilian deaths at between 14,160 and 16,289. Roberts did not consider civilian deaths in Fallujah, where two thirds of the violent deaths recorded have occurred. His study contends the U.S.-led invasion has raised the risk of death to Iraqi civilians more than 2.5 times than before the invasion. The risk was 1.5 times higher if mortality around the hotspot of Falluja was excluded. The lower figure equated to 98,000 deaths due to the conflict, his report concludes. Want to use this article?
