  • According to a new report noted that at least 112,000 civilians were killed in the 10 years since the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq that ousted Saddam Hussein. According to the Britain-based Iraq Body Count (IBC) group, the figure could rise as high as 174,000 including combatants on all sides of the decade-long conflict, as well as yet undocumented civilian fatalities. Noting that “this conflict is not yet history,” report puts the number of civilian deaths since March 20, 2003 at between 112,017 and 122,438. Reports noted that violence remains high, with annual civilian deaths of between four and five thousand roughly equivalent to the total number of coalition forces who died from 2003 up to the US military withdrawal in December 2011, at 4,804. 1
