You need to remove any person from that list, who did not die on American soil. That would give you a better grasp of the scale of the anomaly. Including combat deaths is going to skew your statistical analysis.
Afghans who visit and work at its headquarters in Kabul are required to have full-body X-rays and biometric scans before entering.

Indians' remains given dignified resting place
By ART CHAPMAN
Knight Ridder News Service
GATESVILLE, Texas -- On the northern reaches of Fort Hood, where
camouflage-painted trucks stir the Central Texas dust, a narrow gravel road
meanders off to a remote pasture that is studded with hundreds of charred
stumps from old prairie fires, budding new mesquites and protected by a
towering chain-link fence.
Behind the fence lies the Comanche National Indian Cemetery.
It is not a cemetery specifically for Comanches, nor is it administered by
the federal government. It is a repository of sorts, a place where the
displaced bones of American Indians can be returned to the ground with
dignity and reverence. It is a place for repatriation.
"We have about 105 repatriations," said Dortch Short, chairman of the
cemetery. "We have Comanche, Kiowa, Tonkawa and Coahuiltecan. We have some
Wichita and Caddo scheduled to come in soon."
Short has been associated with the cemetery for six years. It was
established in 1991 and is operated through an agreement among Fort Hood,
The American Indian Resource and Education Coalition and the Comanche Tribe
of Oklahoma.

There is one grave at the cemetery that contains the remains of 49
children. No one knows to what tribe they belonged. The cause of death
never was understood. It could have been a massacre or a sweeping illness.
