September Bloodiest Month in Iraq in Two Years

But the war is over, right?

|

SEPTEMBER was the deadliest month in Iraq in more than two years, with 365 people killed in violence that included waves of country-wide attacks, official figures show.

Insurgents are regarded as weaker than when violence reached its peak in 2006 and 2007, but they remain capable of carrying out mass-casualty attacks across Iraq.
