New Year In Iraq - 2007 Iraq Deaths In Summary
Good Morning and "Happy New Year",
Late Monday, Iraq's government released statistics on the number of civilians and members of security forces it said were killed in 2007.
According to the health, defense and interior ministries, 16,232 civilians, 432 soldiers and about 1,300 policeman died in 2007. The year before, the ministries said that 12,371 civilians, 603 soldiers and 1,224 policeman were killed.
The government figures were roughly in line with a count by The Associated Press.
For 2007, the count found that 18,610 Iraqis were killed. In 2006, the only other full year an AP count has been tallied, 13,813 died.
The AP count — which includes civilians, government officials, and police and security forces — is compiled from hospital, police and military officials, as well as accounts from reporters and photographers. Insurgent deaths were not included. Other counts differ and some have given higher civilian death tolls.
Have a nice day.
