Iraq suicide attacks peak as Ramadan worshippers slaughtered

BAGHDAD (AFP) - The increasingly chaotic situation in Iraq was underlined by another grim statistic, with news that the toll of suicide bombings had reached its highest level since the US-led invasion.

That came as gunmen slaughtered Sunni worshippers on their way to a mosque for Ramadan prayers.

This week's start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan has done nothing to calm the murderous battle between Iraq's divided Sunni and Shiite communities, and the violence continues to undermine faith in the government.

With UN and Iraqi officials now estimating the death toll at more than 100 per day, a spokesman for the US-led coalition confirmed that suicide attacks had hit a new peak, three-and-a-half years after the fall of Saddam Hussein.

"In terms of attacks, this week's suicide attacks were at the highest level of any given week, with half of them targeting security forces," Major General Caldwell told reporters in a briefing, without providing details.
