Baghdad: The number of Iraqis killed in violence over February rose for the first time in several months, statistics showed on Saturday.
At least 633 civilians died, according to data from several ministries, up from more than 460 deaths in January.
The increase was largely due to two attacks in Baghdad and one near Karbala that killed at least 150 people.
