| Thirty terrorists killed as Iraq's unrest declines |
| 2006-11-03 |
| (KUNA) -- Thirty terrorists were killed yesterday in different areas in Baghdad as 200 Iraqi Interior Ministry officials, including police officers, were punished despite violence rate decline over the past week, Interior Ministry said Thursday. The officials were penalized due to the occurrence of two explosions at their working area, Ministry spokesman Brigadier Abdulkarim Khalaf said at a press conference. Other police officers were reassigned to different positions as a punishment, Khalaf added. On volunteering in the police force, Khalaf said the ministry needs to recruit 90,000 volunteers and regulations regarding that matter are to be issued after mid-November 2006. A ministry report cited that 90 Interior Ministry's recruits were killed last week, while 160 others were injured. |

| #2 A few minutes ago NPR reported it's the second worst month in ages for something or other. Troop death, perhaps, I wasn't listening closely. They do music/theater and local colour reports well, though. |
