" The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq criticised the Iraqi
government Wednesday for blocking access to casualty figures from the
war-torn country over the past three months.

UNAMI, in its quarterly report on the human rights situation in Iraq, said
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government had stopped providing the
figures and had accused the UN of exaggerating figures in an earlier
report.

In a report on January 16, UNAMI said more than 34,400 people had died in
the daily acts of violence across the country in 2006.

"The Prime Minister's Office told UNAMI that the mortality figures
contained in the report were exaggerated, although they were in fact
figures compiled and provided by a government ministry," UNAMI said on
Wednesday.

It said the figures released in January were based on information provided
by Iraq's various ministries, including the health ministry."
