MORE than 2,500 people have been killed in Iraq in the past three months.

The UN released the figure on Monday as new attacks left 41 dead, highlighting concerns the country is slipping back into all-out war.

The latest violence comes as the country grapples with months of protests among the Sunni Arab minority, tensions along a swathe of territory in northern Iraq, and a protracted political deadlock that has blocked key legislation.

Analysts say the stalemate and tensions could continue until a general election due next year.

On Monday, a series of attacks in restive areas north of Baghdad left 41 people dead as new figures released by the UN mission in Iraq showed a dramatic surge in violence in recent months.

Most of the victims died when a suicide bomber set off his explosives-rigged vest in the middle of a packed funeral for an Iraqi soldier being held in a husseiniyah, or Sh'iite religious hall.

The UN released new figures on Monday which showed that 761 people were killed - most of them civilians - across the country in June, bringing the overall death toll for the past three months to 2,518.
