2009 deadliest year for Afghan civilians: UN
A UN report says 2009 was the deadliest year for both Afghan civilians and foreign forces since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

The UN Afghan mission said in its latest report that the number of casualties is 14 percent higher compared to the previous year.

The violence in the country left more than 2,400 Afghan civilians dead last year.

The report also says that the vast majority of the deaths were caused by militant-led violence.

The year 2009 was also the deadliest year for foreign forces in the country. Some 520 foreign troopers were killed in Afghanistan last year.

The figure is almost double that of 2008 in which 300 foreign soldiers were killed.

The US is deploying many thousands of additional troops to the country this year.
