'''[[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. -------- === SourceWatch Resources === *[[New Iraq]] *[[Operation Iraqi Freedom: Year Two]] *[[Post-war Iraq]] === External Links === *Andrew Jacobs and Simon Romero, [http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/14/national/14CIVI.html?th "U.S. Workers, Lured by Money and Idealism, Face Iraqi Reality,"] ''New York Times'', April 14, 2004.
