'''[[Iraq Coalition Casualty Statistics]] regarding [[Private Military Corporations]] are currently in the headlines.
*[http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6031.htm April 13 2004: "The Star" Baghdad] - At least 80 foreign mercenaries - security guards recruited from the United States, Europe and South Africa and working for American companies - have been killed in the past eight days in Iraq.
:At least 18,000 mercenaries, many of them tasked to protect US troops and personnel, are now believed to be in Iraq, some of them earning $1,000 (about R6 300) a day. But their companies rarely acknowledge their losses unless - like the four American murdered and mutilated in Fallujah three weeks ago - their deaths are already public knowledge.
