IBC Fallujah Archive - Index Page
The IBC Falluja* Archive is derived from nearly three hundred selected news stories on the April 2004 siege of Falluja, with an emphasis on the humanitarian impact. It organises extracts reporting specific deaths or injuries of civilians and combatants, cumulative death tallies as collated by various authorities within and outside Falluja, as well as additional on-the-ground and background reportage on the siege, and how the US military and goverment explained or presented their actions.

The essential quotes from the news stories - of specific reported deaths, and reported cumulative totals - have been extracted and presented in table format. The tables also contain data extractions from these news quotes. These tables are sorted by date of publication, so that all the news stories published on a particular day share the same table, and a single web page.
A colour-coding system is used to differentiate between the types of quotes extracted from the news stories, the most essential being in yellow and blue:
Text extracted from the news story and highlighted in yellow - refers to specific and identifiable deaths
Text extracted from the news story and highlighted in blue - refers to cumulative death totals
Text extracted from the news story and highlighted in green - provides additional related info, comment and analysis
Text extracted from the news story and highlighted in fuchsia - describes or directly quotes US gov./military views or BU*SH*IT
