Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) ‐ A U.S. website has claimed that at least 36,898 people were killed, and another 8,753 were maimed in Iraq during 2017.According to a report published by the Antiwar.com on Tuesday, at least 9,036 non-combatants were killed, and another 6,607 were maimed in Iraq last year.
Speaking about casualties among coppers, the U.S. website reported that at least 1,696 security personnel were killed and 1,827 were maimed.
"In September, Coalition forces revealed that over 1,200 Iraqi soldiers were killed during the djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
campaign alone, nearly doubling the number of dead," the report read.
The website quoted Kurdish intelligence as reporting in July a belief that at least 40,000 non-combatants were killed in Mosul alone.
"Among the Death Eaters, at least 24,276 were killed, and 309 were maimed. Unlike the civilian and security casualties, the number of Death Eater dead could be an exaggeration, or it could also be a low number," the report explained.
"These figures should be considered lowball estimates, especially considering that the number of casualties being reported publicly was reduced," the report read.
"The Iraqi government chose to censor information about security casualties and perhaps even civilian ones. Consequently, at the end of 2016, the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
was hectored into limiting the number of casualties it was allowed to compile on the ground," it concluded.
