2,001 Killed, 1,459 Wounded In Iraq In May 2017


There were 520 security incidents in Iraq in May 2017 leading to 2,001 deaths and 1,459 wounded. The disparity between the dead and injured, the latter should be 2-4 times higher than the former, is due to incomplete reporting on casualties in Iraq, especially when it comes to government losses that Baghdad is censoring. As the Mosul battle has winded down so have the number of incidents. 520 were the fewest recorded in the year. Casualties have slowly gone down as well in 2017.

Broken down by province there were 268 in Ninewa, 96 in Baghdad, 44 in Diyala, 43 in Anbar, 29 in Salahaddin, 21 in Kirkuk, 9 in Basra, 6 in Babil, 2 in Dohuk, 2 in Kurdistan, and 1 in Muthanna. Ninewa has led the nation in incidents since the Mosul campaign started in October 2016. As a result, violence has dropped off in the rest of the country, especially in Baghdad that has remained at an all time low. There were just an average of 3.0 incidents per day in the capital governorate when there used to be 8-9. There was also a rare incident in Muthanna where several car bombs were discovered and disarmed. They were going to be used against Shiite pilgrims.
