Violence Down in Baghdad Yet Iraqi Death Toll Rises
U S troop buildup has reduced violence in Baghdad from peak levels while overall sectarian killings across Iraq run nearly double 2006. Baghdad still accounts for about half of war related deaths, with northern regions bearing a growing share as militants shift operations. The AP count estimates about 14 800 deaths in war related violence this year through August, more than in all of 2006, amid one reasoned outlook ahead of the Iraq progress report to Congress.
