Tim, Try over 3,000. Also of the major Somali players in that action, all are now dead, or completely out of action. Aideed was died of wounds suffered in an attack on a rival a year later. His organization is dissolved and taken over by his chief rival, who by the way is a US supporter. Given the end result it was a successful action. Unfortunately there was too much politics involved, and a lot of stupidity on the military leadership.
