Report: Deaths in Iraq have reached 1 million

As Americans celebrate the forth anniversary of the Iraqi invasion, numbers are coming in that say 1 million Iraqis have been killed.

A spokesperson for the “Stop The War Coalition said the figure was ‘astonishing’, adding: ‘Four years after the start of the conflict in Iraq, we can now see what a disaster the war has been.’”

Hans Blix former chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq has claimed that, aside from Saddam Hussein’s fall, everything in Iraq since the invasion had been a disaster.

The question remains, when will America open their eyes and put a stop to the American industrial war machine that has plagued the world with death, suffering and oppression?

The number of deaths in Iraq since the start of the conflict could be as high as one million, it was claimed yesterday.

On the fourth anniversary of the invasion by Allied troops, an Australian scientist insisted the true death toll dwarfed previous estimates.

Dr Gideon Polya said: “Using the most comprehensive and authoritative literature and UN demographic data yields an estimate of one million post-invasion excess deaths in Iraq.”

His figure is far higher than the biggest previous estimate of 655,000.
