Iraq War Casualties

Casualty counts of the 2003 conflict have been partly lower than those of the 1990-1991 Gulf War. In that war, Coalition forces suffered around 378 deaths and among the Iraqi military, tens of thousands were killed, along with thousands of civilians.

As of August 29, 2003, the coalition death toll was 333. Of the dead, about 130 were killed after President Bush declared on May 1 that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

There are conflicting reports on the number and cause of Iraqi civilian deaths and injuries. Abu Dhabi TV reported on April 8 that Iraqi sources claimed 1,252 civilians had been killed and 5,103 had been wounded in this conflict. The Iraq Body Count project, which compiles estimates of Iraqi civilian casualties (excluding deaths attributable to the Iraqi government) has a minimum estimate of 6073 and a high of 7782, as of 23.7.03.

There are no concrete numbers of dead Iraqi soldiers. U.S. Central Command has given few figures on the subject, but officials did estimate 2,000-3,000 Iraqi troops were killed in one day alone, during an April 5 blitz into Baghdad.

In November 2003 The Guardian estimated that between 13,500 and 45,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed by American and British troops during the six weeks of war.

During the 2003 occupation of Iraq, U.S. soldiers continued to come under attack in various towns across Iraq.
