something I expect you will see left unstressed, in this American warmongering (oil imperalism mongering?) This was taken as someone's reponse to an IMC post (that you can ignore, since the story has been twisted) at: http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=65725&group=webcast (first comment only quoted below) Regards, Mark ------------------------------- based on a flurry of e-mail, many readers of cryptome.org pointed out there were new figures and British Prime Minister Tony Blair revised the number of possible British victims. In the case of New Zealand, the victims held dual US citizenship, a situation which undoubtedly applies to some of the other foreign nationals who perished. The list has been revised to reflect these changes and the numbers of foreign nationals who are confirmed dead or missing rises to 3387. 19 September 2001 Foreign Death Toll Exceeds American at WTC WORLD TRADE CENTER NON-US DEATH TOLL OUTNUMBERS AMERICAN Wayne Madsen What is being largely lost in the grief and sorrow following the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center is the fact that the current count of dead and missing reveals more foreign nationals died in the attack than Americans. Although the major media has reported that other nations lost a number of their citizens, it is not being reported that their numbers, some 3061, are in excess of U.S. casualties, currently estimated at around 2589. These figures do not include any Canadians who may have been lost in the cataclysm. From information culled from a number of wire service accounts, the estimates of dead and missing by country are: Revised 20 September 2001 Mexico 500 Great Britain 300 Colombia 295 India 250 Chile 250 Germany 205 Pakistan 200 Honduras 200 Turkey 131 Russia 117 Philippines 117 Ecuador 101 El Salvador 100 Japan 100 Australia 95 Brazil 84 Bangladesh 50 Italy 49 Canada 45 Austria 40 South Korea 27 Portugal 25 Ireland 24 Cambodia 20 Hong Kong 19 Finland 17?
