Six Killed in Iraq Violence
Local Editor
Six people were killed including three security forces and at least ten were injured, in Baghdad and northern Iraq attacks on Wednesday.
According to medical officials, the blast in the capital struck at around 7:30 am (0430 GMT) in the eastern Ameen neighborhood. Another car bomb in the town of Tuz Khurmatu, 175 kilometres (110 miles) north of Baghdad, detonated at around 8:30 am (0530 GMT) as a joint military-police patrol was passing.
Three security force members -- an army lieutenant colonel, a policeman and a soldier -- were killed, and one soldier was wounded, according to Lieutenant Colonel Jassim al-Bayati of Tuz police and Dr Hidayet Mustafa at Tuz hospital.
The Iraqi government said on Wednesday that 69,263 people had been killed in violence between 2004 and 2011 -- significantly less than figures from other sources, including one of its own ministries.
"These figures represent the total number of victims who fell as a result of terrorist attacks and violence and military operations," the statement said.
The figures come from the health ministry and national Security Council, it added.
The deadliest year was 2006, when 21,539 people were killed and 39,329 wounded, as Iraq was engulfed in bloody sectarian conflict, while in 2011, 2,777 people were killed, the statement said.
