Iraq conflict has killed a million, says survey

LONDON, Jan 30 (Reuters) - More than one million Iraqis have died as a
result of the conflict in their country since the U.S.-led invasion in
2003, according to research conducted by one of Britain's leading
polling groups.

The survey, conducted by Opinion Research Business (ORB) with 2,414
adults in face-to-face interviews, found that 20 percent of people had
had at least one death in their household as a result of the conflict,
rather than natural causes.

The last complete census in Iraq conducted in 1997 found 4.05 million
households in the country, a figure ORB used to calculate that
approximately 1.03 million people had died as a result of the war, the
researchers found.

The margin of error in the survey, conducted in August and September
2007, was 1.7 percent, giving a range of deaths of 946,258 to 1.12
million.

ORB originally found that 1.2 million people had died, but decided to
go
back and conduct more research in rural areas to make the survey as
comprehensive as possible and then came up with the revised figure.

The research covered 15 of Iraq's 18 provinces. Those that not covered
included two of Iraq's more volatile regions -- Kerbala and Anbar --
and
the northern province of Arbil, where local authorities refused them a
permit to work.

Estimates of deaths in Iraq have been highly controversial in the
past.
