Private Study Estimates 13,000 Died in Iraq War
Agence France Presse
WASHINGTON, 30 October 2003 — An estimated 13,000 Iraqis, including as many as 4,300 non-combatants, were killed during the major combat phase of the war in Iraq, a research group found in a study made public Tuesday. The Project on Defense Alternatives said its estimate was based on a review of US combat data, battlefield press reports, and Iraqi hospital surveys. The study covered the period from March 19 to the end of April.
The Pentagon has refrained from making estimates of Iraqi dead in either the 1991 Gulf War or the latest conflict.
The study, authored by Carl Coneta, found that deaths of Iraqi civilians who did not take up arms in the fighting was as high or higher than in the 1991 Gulf War despite advances in precision weaponry.
