Forty-five police officers were killed, down from 65 in April, while 30 soldiers were killed, compared with 35 the previous month, according to figures from the interior and defence ministries.

Violence in Iraq has fallen since the height of the 2006-2007 sectarian warfare unleashed by the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, but shootings and bombings by Sunni insurgents and Shi’ite militia still occur daily.
In December, the human rights group Iraq Body Count (IBC) put the 2010 civilian death toll in Iraq at 3,976 up to Dec. 23, compared to 4,680 in 2009. The 2010 civilian toll was the lowest since the 2003 invasion.
