CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq - Senior leaders with the Multi-National Division - Baghdad reported that criminal militia have conducted 11 attacks in Baghdad since Aug. 30.
Among the 11 attacks attributed to criminal militia members are 107mm rocket attacks impacting Coalition outposts and residential Baghdad neighborhoods, small arms attacks, the use of the deadly explosively-formed projectiles and one complex attack requiring detailed coordination and planning.
"Many citizens are concerned with their criminal activities," Brig. Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, the deputy commanding general for support of MND-B and the 1st Cavalry Division told a gathering of Iraqi media in the International Zone Sept. 1. "We have not seen a change in behavior and we continue to hold the obligation to protect the population and uphold the law."
FR WAR NEWS! These reports are actually rather good. No massive car or truck bombings have taken place. Overall, the level of violence is much less than it was. That’s really great news!
Did Iran run out of bombs to give the insurgents?

My take is that there are fewer insurgents left, and Iran may have reduced it’s support despit it’s continued loud mouth. It has been put on record that we are watching.
I think you can contribute the Sunni Tribal leaders turn towards the Iraqi Coalition (rather then AQI) for a decrease in insurgents. I think we still have to be careful and we must keep an eye on the Shias next move. We will see their next move when Maqtada Al Sadr opens his mouth again. And we will see how the Shia will take to his word too. He may be losing some credibility. But we will have to wait and see.
I agree with you. I didn’t hear that Iran was trying to implement their own surge though. Thanks.
