Iraq has consistently been under attack of militants and insurgents within the nation, and it has also been noted that the suicide attacks are on a rise since a couple of years. Violence among people has gone down, but the main concern is the frequent suicide bomb attacks on the foreign and national forces.

Both Baquba and Tikrit fall within the country’s Sunni triangle, a hot bed of insurgent attacks.
