From AP article by Ryan Lenz:

"The influx of thousands of U.S. forces has driven down insurgent attacks in Baghdad, but violence elsewhere in Iraq raises questions about whether killings will continue to drop as American forces begin to leave, the United Nations said Saturday.

As security improved in Baghdad, violent attacks spread last year to other parts of the country, including Diyala Province and Mosul, al-Qaida's last urban stronghold, according to the report from the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq."

Not sure if anyone (other than Dick Cheney and a few other right-wing crackpots) is still disputing this point but it's always good to reinforce it.
