Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think this is the wrong choice. My answer had updated information, plus the source to more detailed information. This answer only tells how many were killed and not how many there are still there. Plus, the war on terror is supossed to be in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not Colombia or Somalia. I think this is a complete misunderstanding.
I wasn't expecting this from the asker at all.
