U.S. - INDIRECT FIRE ATTACKS AT LOWEST LEVEL IN MONTHS
Stars and Stripes - Mideast edition, Tuesday, November 13, 2007

In the latest in a string of announcements touting successes tied to the U.S. troop “surge,” military officials said Monday that indirect-fire attacks in Iraq dropped to their lowest level in more than 21 months.

According to the figures released by the U.S. military command, the number of mortar and rocket attacks reported in October 2007 throughout the country was half the number reported in October 2006. The overall figure was the lowest since February 2006, just before the bombing of a Shiite shrine unleashed a wave of sectarian violence throughout Iraq.
