Note: Since I have published the above tabulation, a question has been raised about whether the sources for a particular incident I cite might all be relying upon a single news agency report. As far as I know---and frequently newspaper articles do NOT mention the particular news press release or particular possible on-site reporter---I have NOT deliberately engaged in such practice. I do believe that if separate newspaper stories report a particular story [without expressing reservations], then this reflects a de facto judgement by the newspaper staff about the veracity of the report and I count this as a separate source. Frequently, different sources mention different civilian casualty figures and most of the time, I have chosen the lowest number. I might add that if reports give different figures, they most likely do NOT come from the same source. Whenever possible, I have tried to locate first-hand reports, or statements by persons present [and still alive!] of a bombing incident. If a 'story' presents more a detailed account, I have lent it greater credibility.
