BAGHDAD: Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on Wednesday said 1,091 people had been killed last month in sectarian violence in Baghdad alone.
Urging quick efforts to quell the raging communal bloodshed, Mr Talabani said ‘we received a report from the morgue about the deaths in Baghdad that 1,091 people were killed between April 1 and 30’.
“We are shocked and angry at the daily reports of unidentified bodies being discovered and of people killed on the basis of their identity,” Mr Talabani was quoted as saying in a statement issued by his office.—AFP
