WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Despite a spate of mass-casualty suicide bombings, insurgency attacks against the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq have dropped significantly over the last five months.
A study by Special Operations Consulting-Security Management Group Inc., a private firm that operates in Iraq, said the average number of daily attacks in Iraq has been 80 during September. This marked a decrease of 33 percent since April 2004, when 120 daily attacks were reported.
April marked the peak of violence in Iraq with the U.S.-led coalition fighting both a Sunni and Shi'ite revolt. The worst violence took place in Faluja as well as Basra, Kut and Najaf.
The report by the Las Vegas-based Special Operations Consulting asserted that the Sunni Triangle remained the focus of the insurgency. The company said that in September, the lion's share of attacks was in Sunni provinces in northern and western Iraq.
Howdy LTGM! Love it when a plan comes together.
bttt
I do not find any truth to this report. I just heard sKerry and Edtards tell me that it is up more each month and it is just getting worse. /8scarasm off
There are fewer, but they are more desperate and deadly.
I am unsuccessfully trying to find one of them quoting that in a debate. Can you find it? I think that them saying it gets worse each month and that article should be sent to factcheck.org
WHY, pray tell, do you have that screen name???
Edtards said it in his debate with Cheney and Kerry said it his debate with Bush.
