Levels of violence fell in Iraq last week. At least 55 people were killed and 82 injured in nationwide incidents. However, a series of blasts took place around the country earlier on 15 April and next week's total is likely to be higher.
Last week a total of 25 bomb attacks left 34 people dead and 72 injured. Small arms attacks left 17 people dead and 10 injured. There were no suicide bombings or indirect fire attacks (rockets and mortars) reported.
Incidents were concentrated in the provinces of Anbar and Ninawa, particularly around the cities of Fallujah and Mosul. Diyala and Salah ad-Din provinces also saw several attacks. The Kurdish region in the north and the southern provinces all remained quiet.
AKE has also released figures outlining levels of violence in the country between January and March. Levels of violence rose over the period, with at least 1059 people killed. Ninawa was the most hostile province, experiencing an average of two attacks per day. The oil-rich south and Kurdish-governed provinces saw significantly lower levels of violence.
