British Casualties in Iraq - Updates for February 2008

Updates of casualty data for February 2008 have now been published for the casualty monitor project for British forces in Iraq. Figures show an up turn in casualty numbers in February, which had been in decline for the previous 3 months. These data do not reflect the affects of the upsurge in fighting in Basra and elsewhere this week - the results of which may, or may not, lead to an increase in British combat casualties.
