The death toll there is rising and the situation is getting worse by the day.
quote:
In the last day, the body count in Iraq exploded as at least 263 were killed or found dead; 30 of those were insurgents killed in Ramadi. Tensions are particularly high due to two mass kidnappings that occurred in Baghdad.At least 118 were killed in Baghdad alone, including one intelligence officer and Faris Khalil, a colonel in the Interior Ministry. At least thirteen more bodies were found throughout Baghdad on Monday, adding to the fifty that were found overnight Sunday. They were shot to death and bore signs of torture.
At least 145 people outside the capital were killed including a leading al-Qaeda figure, Saad Tager Al-Rayashi (aka Abu Fad’ am.) Fifty bodies were discovered in Kut and at least 31 elsewhere.
Iraq is being bled dry all in the name of oil and profit. I wouldn't even want to guess the total amount of casualties if this rate continues.
