Iraq security forces suffer fatal month

Iraq's puppet security services, appointed by the American occupation of Iraq, have suffered their deadliest month since the US invasion of Iraq , illustrating the rise in violence in the country.

Yesterday's announcement by the US puppet Iraqi interior minisetry gives the lie to suggestions that better intelligence and more arrests had reduced the insurgents' capability to strike.

Officials reported that at least 220 police officers and soldiers were killed in May, mainly by suicide bombings. The figure does not include potential recruits killed while queuing up to join the forces, a favoured target.

"This figure does not even include those killed in the last two or three days," a senior police officer said.

March was the previous deadliest month, with 200 security personnel killed.

of course ... all these numbers are made up and proven lies ... as has been the norm experienced from the US occupation, where it usually reported less than one tenth of its actual losses !
