Unknown News has an alternative view of Afghan and Iraq fatalities and casualties – including both civilians and soldiers.

Their numbers are alarming but their explanations look reasonably credible.

They currently suggest that a total of 919,967 people have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since the coalition began its attacks after 9/11.

They carefully explain their sources, numbers and methodology.

They also explain where they object to some of the official US and UK government data, and weaknesses in some of the data collected by other volunteer groups.

The website is clearly against the war – but more to the point, are their numbers correct?

Grim reading.

Just noted that they have not update the figures since August 2010. Not so good...
