'The number of civilian deaths in Iraq in 2011 was almost at the same level as in 2010 â?? there has now been no noticeable downward trend since mid-2009. As observed in IBCâ??s previous annual report, recent trends indicate a persistent low-level conflict in Iraq that will continue to kill civilians at a similar rate for years to come...

The total number of violent civilian deaths recorded since the 2003 invasion has now exceeded 114,000...

14,705 (13%) of all documented civilian deaths were reported as being directly caused by the US-led coalition.
