Iraq Interior Minister Bayan Jabir said terror attacks in the country decreased by 70 percent and no escapee has been arrested at Syrian borders for two weeks.

In the statement to Kuwaiti reporters, Jabir indicates this figure was based on the latest statistics.

The decrease in the number of these attacks is a big success, the minister noted, declaring by the end of next year Iraqi army could take over security.

The US Army had declared after the months long operations against insurgents, suicide attacks had decreased to the lowest level in November and roadside bombings had been at its lowest level since last June.

The MSM found little of interest in this story.
