Iraq: Over 600 killed for the month so far

National Iraqi News Agency reports that the Assistant Director of Military Intelligence was injured in a bombing to the north of Mosul.  The high profile attack might get plenty of coverage on another day; however, today the incident has to compete with many other attacks.

NINA reports an attack in Falluja left a police officer dead and a bystander injured, 2 Sadr City car bombings left 6 people dead and fifteen injured, a northeastern Baghdad (Husseiniya) left 3 dead and twelve injured,  2 car bombings in central Baghdad (Batawiyeen) left 3 people dead and eleven injured, a southwestern Baghdad (Amil) car bombing left 2 people dead and eight more injured, a southeastern Baghdad (Zafaraniya) car bombing claimed 1 life and left seven more people injured, another southwestern Baghdad bombing (Saydiya) bombing resulted in 1 death and ten people injured,  and rebels shot dead 7 soldiers in Ain Jahash village while injuring an eighth.   That's at least 25 dead and over seventy injured.


Through yesterday, Iraq Body Count counts 592 violent deaths this month.  Today's violence takes the count beyond 600.
