Morbid update

A round up of some of the deaths that made the news:

• As of Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009, at least 796 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan as a result of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001
• Nine die in attacks across Iraq
• Fireworks blaze kills 32 in India
  
• Three soldiers, 25 Taliban dead in Afghanistan
• 12 dead in gang battle in Rio, which will host the Olympics?

I think this is enough for now :-(
