Titolo: Vittime civili irachene ...da parte di chi?

Nella carneficina irachena qualche numero interessante esce fuori e, data la 
sorgente delle informazioni, puo`ritenersi attendibile e realistica.
Contrariamente alle convinzioni del reggente (ambascatore) J.Negroponte i 
rapporti delle autorita` irachene mostrano tutt'altro.
In via di allestimento di un servizio di Panorama ("Exit Strategy") John 
Simpson, reporter della BBC ha ottenuto, dal Ministero della 
Sanita`iracheno, un rapporto preciso del numero delle vittime da Luglio 2004 
a Gennaio di quest'anno.
Il numero di vittime da parte delle forze dell'ordine (morti e feriti) e` 
superiore del 60%-100% circa al numero delle vittime civili per atti 
dell'insurrezione.
Nel numero totale non e`compreso il numero degli insorti deceduti o feriti.

BBC obtains Iraq casualty figures
 Panorama: Exit strategy
BBC One, Sunday, 30 January 2005 at 22:15 GMT
Coalition troops and Iraqi security forces may be responsible for up to 60% 
of conflict-related civilian deaths in Iraq - far more than are killed by 
insurgents, confidential records obtained by the BBC's Panorama programme 
reveal.
Official figures, compiled by Iraq's Ministry of Health, break down deaths 
according to insurgent and coalition activity. They are usually available 
only to Iraqi cabinet ministers.
The data covers the period 1 July 2004 to 1 January 2005, and relates to all 
conflict-related civilian deaths and injuries recorded by Iraqi public 
hospitals. The figures exclude, where known, the deaths of insurgents.
 Conflct-related civilian deaths in Iraq. July 2004 to January 2005
3,274 civilians killed in total
2,041 by coalition and Iraqi security forces
1,233 by insurgents
12,657 civilians wounded in total
8,542 by coalition and Iraqi security forces
4,115 by insurgents
The figures reveal that 3,274 Iraqi civilians were killed and 12,657 wounded 
in conflict-related violence during the period.
Of those deaths, 60% - 2,041 civilians - were killed by the coalition and 
Iraqi security forces. A further 8,542 were wounded by them.
Insurgent attacks claimed 1,233 lives, and wounded 4,115 people, during the 
same period.
Panorama interviewed US Ambassador John Negroponte shortly before it 
obtained the figures. He told reporter John Simpson:
"My impression is that the largest amount of civilian casualties definitely 
is a result of these indiscriminate car bombings.
"You yourself are aware of those as they occur in the Baghdad area and more 
frequently than not the largest number of victims of these acts of terror 
are innocent civilian bystanders".
The coalition has yet to respond to the figures.
Panorama's film Exit Strategy, reported by BBC world affairs editor John 
Simpson from Baghdad, will be shown at 2215 GMT, Sunday night on BBC One.

 Simpson from Baghdad, will be shown at 2215 GMT, Sunday night on BBC One.

notizia dei massacri di civili compiuti dai militari americani e dalle forze

BBC apologises for Iraqi death stats mix-up
Sat Jan 29, 2005 11:07 PM GMT
LONDON (Reuters) - The BBC has apologised for erroneously reporting that
U.S.-led and Iraqi forces may be responsible for the deaths of 60 percent of
Iraqi civilians killed in conflict over the last six months.
The broadcaster said on Friday in broadcasts and a news statement that its
Panorama investigative show would air a report on Sunday citing
"confidential" records from Iraq's health ministry to support the
contention.
Iraq's health minister said the BBC misinterpreted the statistics it had
received and had ignored statements from the ministry clarifying the
figures.
"Today, the Iraqi Ministry of Health has issued a statement clarifying
matters that were the subject of several conversations with the BBC before
the report was published, and denying that this conclusion can be drawn from
the figures relating to 'military operations'," the BBC said in a news
statement on Saturday.
"The BBC regrets mistakes in its published and broadcast reports yesterday."
A BBC spokesman said the statistics would not feature in the Panorama show
on Sunday.
