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 3870, are in excess of U.S. casualties, currently estimated at around 2463. From information culled from a number of wire service accounts, the estimates of dead and missing by country are:

United States 2460 Mexico 500 Netherlands 403 (+) Great Britain 300 India 250 Chile 250 Colombia 208 (-) Pakistan 200 Israel 133 (+) Turkey 131 Philippines 117 Switzerland 106 (+) Germany 100 (-) Honduras 100 (-) Russia 96 (-) Nigeria 94 (+) El Salvador 71 (-) Japan 70 (-) Canada 63 (+) Bangladesh 55 (+) Brazil 55 (-) Greece 50 (+) Ireland 44 (+) Hungary 41 (+)(missing) Italy 38 (-) Ecuador 34 (-) Poland 30 (+) South Korea 30 (+) Austria 27 (-) Dominican Rep. 25 (+) Japan 23 (-) Cambodia 20 Hong Kong 19 Czech Republic 10 (+) Slovakia 10 (+) France 10 Spain 8 Yemen 8 (+) Jamaica 7 (+) Taiwan 7 (-) Guatemala 6 (+) Haiti 6 (+) (may be more) Zimbabwe 6 Guyana 5 (+) Iran 5 (+) Argentina 5 (+) Trinidad & Tobago 4 (+) China 4 (+) Portugal 4 (-) Egypt 4 (+) probably more Belize 4 (+) Malaysia 4 (-) Lebanon 3 (+) Panama 3 (+) Antigua & Barbuda 3 (+) Grenada 3 (+) Peru 3 (-) Belarus 3 (+) Venezuela 3 Barbados 3 (+) Jordan 2 (+) New Zealand 2 Zimbabwe 2 (-) Thailand 2 Indonesia 2 (-) St. Kitts & Nevis 2 (+) St. Vincent/Gren. 2 (+) Paraguay 2 Denmark 1 (-) Ukraine 1 Ghana 1 (-) St Lucia 1 (+) Sri Lanka 1 (+) Uruguay 1 Belgium 1 Costa Rica 1 (+) Paraguay 1 (-) Burundi 1 (+) Finland 1 (-) (missing) Kenya 1 Bahamas 1 (+) Norway 1 Sweden 1
