More Iraqi Civilians Killed
By U.S. Forces Than By Insurgents
Posted 10:58 p.m., Sept. 24, 2004

A huge exclusive tonight from the Knight Ridder Newspapers, which was, incidentally, the only major U.S. news organization to report skeptically on prewar claims of Iraq's WMDs.
Operations by U.S. and multinational forces and Iraqi police are killing twice as many Iraqis - most of them civilians - as attacks by insurgents, according to statistics compiled by the Iraqi Health Ministry and obtained exclusively by Knight Ridder.
According to the ministry, the interim Iraqi government recorded 3,487 Iraqi deaths in 15 of the country's 18 provinces from April 5 - when the ministry began compiling the data - until Sept. 19. Of those, 328 were women and children. Another 13,720 Iraqis were injured, the ministry said.
... Iraqi officials said the statistics proved that U.S. airstrikes intended for insurgents also were killing large numbers of innocent civilians. Some say these casualties are undermining popular acceptance of the American-backed interim government.
