| Senior leaders with the Multi-National Division - Baghdad reported that criminal militia have conducted 11 attacks in Baghdad since Aug. 30. Among the 11 attacks attributed to criminal militia members are 107mm rocket attacks impacting Coalition outposts and residential Baghdad neighborhoods, small arms attacks, the use of the deadly explosively-formed projectiles and one complex attack requiring detailed coordination and planning. "Many citizens are concerned with their criminal activities," Brig. Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, the deputy commanding general for support of MND-B and the 1st Cavalry Division told a gathering of Iraqi media in the International Zone Sept. 1. "We have not seen a change in behavior and we continue to hold the obligation to protect the population and uphold the law." |

| #1 That's about 2 a day. We have 1 or 2 gang assaults a day here with only 1/10th the population. Admittedly, our gangs don't use mortars or EFPs, though. Yet. |
