This would be good information to have. I don't know if anyone has been tracking it. (There are people who have been keeping running totals, but that alone doesn't tell us what we need to know.)
You'd need to include the circumstances, and particularly the state of the person when he died -- was he waving a gun, sitting there peacefully, being deliberately used as a human shield, something else? I'd really like to know how many of the dead on each side were innocent bystanders rather than (at the time) legitimate targets.
As an aside, note that the press includes the suicide bombers in death totals. While not incorrect, it is a bit on the misleading side -- and there have been enough of these to skew the numbers.
