During
October, Antiwar.com tallied 3,071 killed and 1,160 wounded. These
figures are lower than those counted last month. At least 3,974 were
killed in September, and another 1,613 were wounded.
Scanning the
media reports, Antiwar found that 528 civilians were reported killed,
and another 602 were wounded. Security forces lost 168 members, while
another 229 were wounded. The greatest number of reported casualties
was among the militant groups. At least 2,375 were reported killed.
Another 329 were wounded.
These
casualty numbers should be considered estimates. The true figures may
never be known. There is evidence that the Iraqi government is
undercounting deaths among their security forces and possibly
exaggerating militants deaths.
At least 171
were killed in the latest violence. Only one person was reported as
wounded.
In Mosul,
militants executed a dozen teenagers who were attempting to flee
their control.
