Over 1,500 violent civilian deaths in occupied Baghdad thru August: gunshot wounds soar from 10% to 60%
Iraq Body Count | PRESS RELEASES: "September 23rd 2003 | Over 1,500 violent civilian deaths in occupied Baghdad
The first definitive total of violent civilian deaths in Baghdad since mid April has been published by Iraq Body Count (IBC), an Anglo-American research group tracking media-reported civilian deaths occuring as a consequence of the US/UK military intervention in Iraq.
From April 14th to 31st August, 2,846 violent deaths were recorded by the Baghdad city morgue. When corrected for pre-war death rates in the city a total of at least 1,519 excess violent deaths in Baghdad emerges from reports based on the morgue's records.
...
The study confirms the widespread anecdotal evidence that violence on the streets of Baghdad has skyrocketed, with the average daily death rate almost tripling since mid April from around 10 per day to over 28 per day during August.
Another worrying development is that during the pre-war period deaths from gunshot wounds accounted for approximately 10% of bodies brought to the morgue, but now account for over 60% of those killed. The small number of reports available for other cities indicate that these trends are being mirrored elsewhere in the country.
Although the majority of deaths are the result of Iraqi on Iraqi violence, some were directly caused by US military fire. There is evidence that these deaths, often from indiscriminate use of firepower, increasingly fail to be reported or remain unacknowledged by occupation forces.

Iraq Body Count Project: At Least 20,000 Civilians Injured, 7798 killed in Iraq War
Iraq Body Count Project: At Least 20,000 Civilians Injured in Iraq War: "Adding Indifference to Injury | By Hamit Dardagan, John Sloboda and Kay Williams | August 7, 2003 | Iraq Body Count Project
Extraction of media-reported civilian injuries from the Iraq Body Count database and archive of war reports provides evidence of at least 20,000 civilian injuries on top of the maximum reported 7798 deaths. 8,000 of these injuries were in the Baghdad area alone, suggesting that the full, countrywide picture, as with deaths, is yet to emerge.
The Iraq Body Count Project has never published a running total of injuries suffered in the war because injuries encompass a scale from the grievous and incapacitating to the light and fully recuperable, and in the absence of information about severity it makes no sense to assign the same unit value to each report of injury. But because injuries are not all comparable does not mean that they can or should be excluded from an accounting of the human costs of the war. On the contrary, the need to investigate and assess them is especially urgent, for many of the injured may still be suffering and their condition may be improved if we act promptly."

US kills: 8 Iraqi policemen + 4 civilians
A Nightmare in Iraq: "by Sheldon Richman, September 24, 2003
Americans soldiers are killing innocent Iraqi civilians almost on a regular basis. In recent days and in separate incidents they killed eight Iraqi policemen, an Iraqi interpreter working for the U.S. occupiers, a woman and her child at a wedding, and a young teenager at another wedding. Many more have been seriously injured. As British journalist Robert Fisk reports from Baghdad,
Every day, Iraqi civilians are wounded or shot dead by US troops.
No wonder that U.S. government analysts believe that the troops have more to fear from average citizens than from the remnant of Saddam Hussein sympathizers. Citing Defense Department officials, the New York Times reported,
New intelligence assessments are warning that the United States� most formidable foe in Iraq in the months ahead may be the resentment of ordinary Iraqis increasingly hostile to the American military occupation.
This has got to be an eye-opener to all those who insisted that the Americans would be greeted as liberators.
Things are obviously out of hand. There are a dozen attacks on American troops each day. U.S. casualties continue to mount. Scared military personnel fire on vehicles that seem suspicious at the many checkpoints along the roads.
As 2nd Lt. Mallory Chambers told a Knight Ridder reporter, "You can't tell who's on our side and who's not."
