Iraq: ‘More Than 12,000 Civilians’ Died in Seven Years of Iraqi Suicide Bombings


Revelation 6:8, “… and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth …”

“Baghdad, 2 Sept. (AKI) – More than 12,000 civilians and some 200 coalition soldiers died in suicide attacks in Iraq between 2003 and 2010, according to a report in medical journal The Lancet.

The paper by London-based Iraq Body Count and others highlights the much higher impact suicide bombings had on civilians than foreign troops following the American invasion of Iraq backed by some allies.

In excess of 30,000 Iraqi civilians were injured by suicide bombs between 20 20 March 2003 and 31 December 2010, and 12,284 Iraqi civilians were killed in more than 1,000 suicide bombings. These amounted to around 10 percent of 108.624 civilian deaths and 25 percent of civilian injuries from armed violence in that period.

Of the 200 troops killed in suicide attacks, 175 were American, the report said.

The report was part of a Lancet series on the health effects of the 11 September terrorist attacks.” Source.

In contrast, over 90 percent who perished were killed by fellow Muslims.” Read more.
