I've heard more like 30-40. Don't know the # of wounded though.

10. 'Wounded' includes light wounds too |
|
for instance, one hospital in the middle of the afternoon (UK time) said it had admitted about 180 injured, and already discharged 130.

8. The seriously wounded--burns, amputees and the like |
|
Your basic "humdrum" injuries seen in Iraq daily, perpetuated against the Iraqis and soldiers on both sides--taking the invasion to the streets~

though I heard a much higher figure this morning on NPR, whom I trust more (particularly since they are getting their information from the BBC.)
I keep hearing around 40 dead, but to my knowledge, they have not released figures from the bus.

I think they should say "injured" but "casualties" makes it sound even more devastating.

I can't believe this is happening again - it makes me so angry at the failure of leadership in this country on so many levels.
I knew this type of thing would happen after Iraq - at least if it were because we caught bin Laden or were dismantling al Qaeda in Afghanistan or *gasp* Saudi Arabia, we would know that it might actually be WORTH the cost we are having to bear.
Thank God the figures aren't that high - I got very scared for a moment. Haven't been around since the AM, when they were saying totals "could" be in double digits and "only" 2 confirmed dead. Such a tragedy.
