Baghdad (CNN) -- A series of attacks last month killed more than 1,000 Iraqis
and injured thousands more, the United Nations said Saturday.
A total of 1,045 Iraqis
were killed in May, including 963 civilians, according to the United
Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq.
Those killed included police and members of security forces.
In addition to the deaths, 2,397 more Iraqis were injured, the U.N. said.
Of the total injured, 206 were members of the security forces while 2,191 were
civilians.
"That is a sad record,"
said Martin Kobler, the top United Nations envoy to Iraq. "Iraqi
political leaders must act immediately to stop this intolerable
bloodshed."
Baghdad was the worst affected governorate with 532 civilians killed.
Security incidents involved improvised explosive devices and small arms fire.
The bloodshed comes amid a recent uptick in violence, much of it stemming from
discord between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
Sunni Arabs had more
political clout in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule until his
government was deposed in 2003 after the U.S.-led invasion.
Sunnis have long felt politically marginalized under a Shiite-led government in
the post-Saddam era.
Iraq is seeing some of
the worst violence since the civil war of 2006, but Foreign Minister
Hoshyar Zebari says the country is not unraveling.
"We are worried indeed
because of this increase in the number of terrorist attacks and also the rise
of sectarian tension," Zebari told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive
interview last month.
"But really, the country is not sliding into civil war or sectarian war."
