The number of militants killed is variously given as 60+ or 90+, but the latter includes operations not in Baqubah itself. Such as the fighting in Al-Khalis (Khales, etc), which is some 10 miles (distance between city centers according to Google Earth) NNW of Baqubah. I have no problem accepting either figure (preliminary as it may be) if it's sourced, but I have not seen any official statement that a) proves the al-Khalis fighting to be part of OAR (rather than the
Diyala province campaign) and b) uses the 90 figure. If anyone does have one, please add - I'm rrv'ing but don't feel good about it; but in these matters, I have learned not to trust media reports over official statements, especially if the media reports are as vague as
this (source #2 in article).
This source (#1 in article) is a bit more detailed, but seems to imply that the 90 figure refers to the body count of fighting "around Baghdad", which would mean not just Baqubah/OAR, but Salah ad-Din, Diyala, Wasit, Al-Anbar, Al-Karbala, and maybe Al-Qadissiyah governorates in part, and Baghdad and Babil governorates in ther entirety.
In conclusion, the only cited source for the 90 figure is almost certainly not referring to the present operation, but to the Diyala, Al-Anbar and "Triangle of Death" campaigns combined.

At the very bottom of that page, there is a referenced section of units that were "In the city". I know this seems very petty, but both Delta Company 2-35 INF and 3rd PLT, Charlie Company 2-35 INF, were both in the city. 3rd PLT, Charlie Company 2-35 INF were actually attached to 1-12 CAV. I was in 3rd PLT, Charlie Company, 2-35 INF. If you need any verifying documentation please contact me at: ngray0326@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.192.87.33 ( talk) 22:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
There is much of 24 June 2004 that is NOT included. See:
