Over 2,400 civilians dead in Afghanistan in 2009

70% of them are killed by the Taliban and 25% by US/NATO/pro-government.

NATO had last week given much smaller figures,
not surprisingly, and saying the Taliban accounted for about 80% of the casualties:
NATO, which also tracks civilian deaths, said that international forces caused 190 civilian deaths last year and wounded 344 noncombatants. In contrast, NATO reported that insurgents were responsible for 1,011 civilian deaths and that militants wounded 2,407.
