Here are a series of graphs, up to date through the end of January, illustrating the deaths inflicted on Anti Iraqi Forces, AIF, terrorists and al Qaeda. Some of the grpahs compare the losses suffered by our forces in the same time period. In addition, our losses are restricted to those considered hostile, and the breakout of IED losses and non-IED combat losses is provided.

AIF losses are provided by Multi National Force - Iraq. American losses are from the data kept by the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count site.

For additional information, please see our sister site, Terrorist Death Watch.

This graph illustrates the number of AIF deaths by month since the beginning of the war in Iraq.

This graph shows US combat deaths, both IED and non-IED.

This graph illustrates the results of the surge that began in January 2007 and reached full deployment in June 2007. It compares US losses to AIF losses.

Breaking out US combat losses by cause, this is the deaths due to IED activity. The uptick in January 2008 is solely due to two incidents. In one, our troops were lured into a house and it was blown up, killing 6. Another IED incident killed 5 of our troops. Working with the small numbers involved in American losses, spikes such as this one are unavoidable.

This final graph shows the US losses due to combat not involving IEDs. Firefights, indirect fire by artillery, etc.
