At Least 1.3 Million People Killed In US War On Terror - Ben Swann's Truth In Media - Rachel Blevins:
March 31, 2015 - "A recent report found that in the estimated number of casualties from the United States’ “War on Terror,” at least 1.3 million people were killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. While the report emphasizes that this is a 'conservative estimate,' 1.3 million is 10 times higher than the number of casualties previously reported by mainstream media in the US.
"The report, titled Body Count: Casualty Figures after 10 Years of the War on Terror, was put together by the groups Physicians for Social Responsibility, Physicians for Global Survival and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. They recorded the lives taken in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan from 2003 to 2013 which occurred as a result of the 'War on Terror' declared by the United States in the aftermath of September 11, 2001....
"According to the report, the total estimate of 1.3 million casualties was a 'conservative estimate,' due to the fact that the total number of deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan 'could also be in excess of 2 million, whereas a figure below 1 million is extremely unlikely'....
"'This investigation comes to the conclusion that the war has, directly or indirectly, killed around 1 million people in Irag, 220,000 in Afghanistan, and 80,000 in Pakistan,' stated the report. 'Not included in this figure are further war zones such as Yemen'....
"The report cited multiple studies, which claimed that by 2008, there were already 'over one million Iraqis' that had died as a result of war, occupation and indirect consequences.
"In Afghanistan, the report found that from Oct. 2001 to Dec. 2013, 55,000 individuals defined as members of the 'Taliban' were killed, along with 22 journalists, 281 NGO workers, 1,700 civilian employees of the US government, 3,000 private US security forces, 3,409 ISAF and OEF solders, 15,000 Afghan security forces, and between 106,000 and 170,000 Afghan civilians.
"The report stated that in Pakistan, from 2004 to 2013, while 26,862 individuals described as 'militants' were killed, 45 journalists, 5,498 Pakistani security forces and 48,504 Pakistani civilians were also killed. Between 416 and 951 civilians were killed by drone strikes."
