Iraq deaths multiply in new August count

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Updated figures from Iraq's Health Ministry show there was no significant decline in violent deaths in Baghdad last month, but the U.S. military insisted Thursday that the murder rate in the capital had fallen by 52 percent? - This must be part of the new 20 million dollar pentagon news efforts.

Baghdad recorded more than 1,500 violent deaths in August, according to final figures released this week by the Health Ministry.

The final figure also was nearly three times the preliminary count released by the same ministry last week.
