They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

In its report, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) said 163 others were maimed. It noted that "the figures include ordinary citizens and others considered civilian at the time of death or injury, such as police in non-combat functions, civil defence, personal security teams, facilities protection police and fire department personnel".

It added that "Baghdad was the worst affected Governorate, with 117 civilian casualties (45 killed, 72 injured), followed by Diyala with 9 killed and 35 injured, and Kirkuk with 20 killed and 16 injured".

The organization maintained that the numbers it provides were a "minimum", saying that hindrances to its works prevent it from setting the exact toll.
