[Correspondence] Suicide bombing: how to prevent death in civilians?
Source: The Lancet
In their Article (Sept 3, p 906), Madelyn Hicks and colleagues describe casualties from suicide bombs in Iraq during 2003–10. During the studied period, lethality was significantly higher for Iraqi civilians than for coalition soldiers. Hicks and colleagues speculate that difficult access to adequate hospital treatment for Iraqi civilians could mainly explain this difference in mortality.
