Iraqi death toll climbs sharply BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7324106.stm

The monthly figure of people killed in Iraq rose by 50% in March compared with the previous month, according to official government counts.

A total of 1,082 Iraqis, including 925 non-combatant civilians, were killed, up from 721 in February.

The figures come from the combined counts of the health, defence and interior ministries.

More than 1,800 people were killed in August 2007. This declined to 540 in January 2008, but the figure has risen steadily since.
