Study estimates nearly 500,000 Iraqis died in war

At least war-related 461,000 deaths occurred between the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 and the end of 2011, researchers say.



New research on the human cost of the war in Iraq estimates that roughly half a million men, women and children died between 2003 and 2011 as a direct result of violence or the associated collapse of civil infrastructure.
