U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,610
From AP…
As of Wednesday, July 11, 2007, at least 3,610 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 2,966 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military’s numbers.
The AP count is one less than the Defense Department’s tally, last updated Wednesday at 10 a.m. EDT.
The British military has reported 159 deaths; Italy, 33; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 20; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Denmark, seven; El Salvador, five; Slovakia, four; Latvia, three; Estonia, Netherlands, Thailand, two each; and Australia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Romania, South Korea, one death each.
Labor Statistics
I thought of sharing some of the statistics put together by Dr. Joel Beinin, which were part of the background handouts in a workshop for Egyptian reporters on how to cover labor strikes, organized last month.
