Militants staged successful attacks deep into the Shi’ite south today and at a Shi’ite religious university in Baghdad. The army also pounded locations in Anbar province. At least 79 people were killed and 112 more were wounded.

At least 69 people were killed in ongoing violence. About half of them were militants. Another 73 civilians and security personnel were wounded. There were at least three attacks on political candidates today, and another attack on campaigners. Elections are at the end of the month.

Militants attempted to take over a village in Diyala province but, so far, have failed to do so. This would be the second location in Diyala to suffer a prolonged siege against it at the hands of DAASH/ISIS militants. Baghdad is bookended by Diyala and Anbar provinces, so the fall of Diyala province would be a great coup for militants working their way toward the capital. At least 35 people were killed, almost all of them militants, and 53 more were wounded today.

At least 106 were killed today in Iraq, and another 73 people were wounded. Over half the fatalities were militants, but security forces and civilians were also harmed.

At least 71 people were killed and 82 more were killed in today’s violence. Bombers struck in northern Iraq, but scattered attacks occurred throughout central Iraq as well.

Yesterday’s assassination attempt on two Sunni politicians, including the deputy prime minister, has taken on a new twist. Although there are conflicting reports as to the actual events that occurred, it is becoming apparent that Iraqi army soldiers were the ones who fired upon the convoy during some kind of dispute. Meanwhile, at least 48 people were killed today, and another 53 were wounded.

Although the number of civilian casualties is low today, two of the intended targets were high profile Sunni politicians. At least 54 people were killed and 26 were wounded today across Iraq.
