Iraq death toll in May lowest in 2011
The number of Iraqis killed in violence in May was the lowest since the start of the year, according to figures released on Wednesday.
A total of 177 Iraqis -- 102 civilians, 45 policemen and 30 soldiers -- died in attacks last month, data compiled by the health, interior and defence ministries showed.
The overall toll was the lowest monthly figure for Iraq since December 2010, when 151 Iraqis died. The previous low for 2011 was February, when 197 people were killed.
May's toll was around 16 percent lower than the previous month, when 211 Iraqis were killed in violence."
