| March Deaths Iraq's Lowest Since 2003 |
| 2012-04-03 |
| Official figures showed that 112 people were killed by violence in Iraq in March, the lowest monthly corpse count for Iraqis since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The figures compiled by the defense, interior and health ministries were released late Sunday and also showed that 357 were maimed last month. The total corpse count included 78 civilians, 22 coppers and 12 soldiers. The previous monthly low was in November 2009 when 122 died. The bloodiest incidents were a series of coordinated attacks in eight Iraqi cities on March 20 as bully boyz sought to derail an Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... meeting in Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... . In one day, 46 people were killed and more than 200 maimed. Despite that, tight security measures that were imposed in advance of the Friday summit appear to have prevented further attacks. Iraqi officials said that new plans will be put in place in order to ease security measures and to decrease the number of checkpoints in the capital and other cities. Violence has dropped significantly in Iraq over the past three years, but bully boyz often carry out attacks in order to shake confidence on the Shiite-led government. |
