BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi Interior Ministry estimates that about 1,000 people have been killed
throughout Iraq in the past week due to gunbattles, drive-by shootings and bomb attacks, a ministry
official said Sunday.

The 1,000 estimated dead includes members of militia and terrorist groups, civilians and Iraqi security
forces. The official said the data was gathered by Iraq's Interior, Health and Defense ministries.

Sunday's violence follows a bloody attack on a crowded market in central Baghdad that killed 128
people and wounded 343 others Saturday, a Health Ministry official said.

On Friday, a U.S. intelligence report was released that describes the task of brining stability to
Iraq as "daunting."

The U.S. military on Saturday reported six American troop deaths in Iraq -- five on Friday and
the other on Tuesday. The number of U.S. military personnel who have died in the Iraq war
stands at 3,089. Seven civilian contractors have also been killed.
