Civilians bearing brunt of Iraq violence

Insurgency-related violence last year killed more than twice as many Iraqi civilians 錕斤拷 4,024 people 錕斤拷 as Iraqi soldiers and police, according to government figures obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

And the civilian death count in the first two months of this year already stands at more than one-quarter of last year's total 錕斤拷 due in part to sectarian violence triggered by the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite shrine and car bombings in Shiite neighborhoods around Baghdad.

The large number of civilian deaths 錕斤拷 many in Baghdad, where 25 percent of the population lives 錕斤拷 has created a climate of fear where parents are afraid to send their children to school, women spend their days huddled inside their homes, and husbands send wives and children abroad.

Figures compiled by the Health Ministry put the civilian death toll for 2005 at 4,024. The ministry's civilian death count for the first two months of this year is 1,093.

Death tolls for the police and army are compiled by the ministries of Interior and Defense. Their figures show that 1,695 police and soldiers were killed last year. Most of the victims 錕斤拷 1,222 錕斤拷 were from the ranks of the police.

That pattern has continued through January and February of this year 錕斤拷 when 155 policemen and 44 soldiers died. Iraqi soldiers as a rule have better body armor and make better use of armored vehicles. Many Iraqi police patrol the dangerous streets of Baghdad and other cities in cars and pickup trucks without armor.

There is no way to verify the figures independently. In a dangerous country as large as California, journalists rely on figures provided by local police, hospitals and the Interior Ministry.
