Iraq civilian deaths hit record in Sept - ministry...

'BAGHDAD, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The number of Iraqi civilians killed in violence may have jumped to a record high in September, data from the Iraqi government indicated on Sunday.

Partial statistics compiled by the Health Ministry and issued by the Interior Ministry put civilian deaths last month at 1,089, a 42 percent increase from 769 in August and more than the previous record in this series of data -- 1,065 in July.' http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/MAC145456.htm
