Iraqi PM says some 400 militants killed in crackdown

I was just musing after reading this article.....has any major news organization kept track of how many foreign and al-Qaida terrorists have been killed or captured since the war in Iraq began. The answer is they haven't. My guess is those figures wouldn't support their prevailing narrative.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. and Iraqi security forces have killed around 400 suspected militants since the start of a major crackdown to stem violence in Baghdad, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Saturday.

Maliki visited the command center for the operation which was launched 10 days ago and urged security forces taking part in it not to be influenced by sectarian loyalties.

He told reporters 426 suspected militants had been detained in the crackdown "and around that number have been killed".
