-----------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations says Iraq has closed out its deadliest month in more
than five years following a wave of sectarian bombings and shootings. In
total, the violence killed 1,057 Iraqis and injured more than 2,300 in
July. Many of the attacks focused on Iraq's Shiite majority which leads
the government.
