BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's Health Ministry has ordered a halt to a count of civilians killed during the war and told its statistics department not to release figures compiled so far, the official who oversaw the count told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The order was relayed by the ministry's director of planning, Dr. Nazar Shabandar, but the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority, which oversees the ministry, also wanted the counting to stop, said Dr. Nagham Mohsen, the head of the ministry's statistics department.

"We have stopped the collection of this information because our minister didn't agree with it," she said, adding: "The CPA doesn't want this to be done."

A spokesman for the CPA had no immediate response.

Iraq to Stop Counting Civilian Dead

The Iraqis were also asked to stop counting living Iraqis too. I'm positive the US knows how many barrels of oil are under Iraqis soil though.

Indeed. Down to the smallest unit possible.
