Written by on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Latest News.
BAGHDAD — Attacks fell in November to their lowest monthly level since the Iraq war started in 2003, despite recent high-profile bombings aimed at shaking public confidence, a top U.S. commander said Wednesday.
Lt. Gen. Lloyd Austin, the No. 2 U.S. commander here, blamed al-Qaida in Iraq for a spate of bombings that has killed nearly 50 people in Baghdad and elsewhere since Monday. The blasts took place despite an 80 percent drop in attacks nationwide since March, Austin said.
