More than 1,000 people were killed in Iraq in May, the United Nations said on Saturday. "A total of 1,045 Iraqis were killed and 2,397 were wounded in acts of terrorism and acts of violence in May," the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) said in a statement. The number of civilians killed was 963, while the death toll among members of the Iraqi Security Forces was 82. "That is a sad record," Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary General for Iraq Martin Kobler said. "Iraqi political leaders must act immediately to stop this intolerable bloodshed," the UN envoy was quoted as saying by DPA. Baghdad was the worst hit province, with 532 people killed.
