Iraq rebels atttack 2,300 times in a month

[seemslikeadream]

BAGHDAD Over the past month, more than 2,300 attacks have been directed against civilians and military targets in Iraq, in a pattern that sprawls over nearly every major population center outside the Kurdish north, according to comprehensive data compiled by a private security company with access to military intelligence reports and its own network of Iraqi informants.
.
The sweeping geographical reach of the attacks, from Nineveh and Salahuddin provinces in the northwest to Babylon and Diyala in the center and Basra in the south, suggest a more widespread resistance than the isolated pockets of insurgency described by Iraqi government officials.
.
The type of attacks ran the gamut: car bombs, time bombs, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, small-arms fire, mortar attacks and land mines.
.
"If you look at incident data and you put incident data on the map, it's not a few provinces, " said Adam Collins, a security expert and the chief intelligence official in Iraq for Special Operations Consulting - Security Management Group Inc., which compiles and analyzes the data as a regular part of its operations in the country.
.
The number of attacks has risen and fallen over the months. Collins said the highest numbers were in April, when there was major fighting in Falluja, with attacks averaging 120 a day. In contrast, the average is now about 80 a day.
