D'après les estimations de l'armée américaine, il y a eu 139 attentats suicides en 2006, contre 27 l'année précédente. Le nombre de bombes qui ont explosé en bordure de la route a doublé, et le nombre d'attaques des insurgés, au moyen d'armes légères, de grenades et d'autres armes, a augmenté et atteint 4 542.

Second, we keep hearing that we're winning, we're winning, we're winning. But I just want to put forward statistics provided by the International Crisis Group that would indicate that in the first nine months of 2006 there were over 3,700 deaths—that includes militants, security personnel, and civilians—which is a fourfold increase. According to U.S. military estimates, there were 139 suicide attacks in that full year of 2006, up from 27 the year before. Roadside bombs doubled, and direct attacks by insurgents using small arms, grenades, and other weapons increased to 4,542, which is almost a fourfold increase.
