According to the United Nations, nearly 800 people were
killed across Iraq which included 196 members of the Iraqi security force, the
rest were civilians.
The victims of attacks were by Sunni Islamist insurgents who
have been regaining ground and momentum Iraq over the past year.
The real number of deaths would be higher if the UN counted
the casualties from the western province of Anbar. Iraqi army has been fighting
tribal and insurgent groups since they overran two cities at the start of the
year.
Even with the security getting worse, Iraq’s incumbent Prime
Minister Nouri-al-Maliki won the largest share of parliamentary sears in
national elections last month.
Luckily, the number of deaths is still below the levels back in 2006 and 2007. “I strongly deplore the sustained level of violence and terrorist acts that continues rocking the country,”
