BAGHDAD — At least 733 Iraqis were killed during violence in January, not including casualties from an embattled western province, the United Nations said on Saturday.

Most of the victims — 618, or 84 percent — were civilians; the other 115 were members of the security forces. The figures, issued by the United Nations mission to Iraq, excluded deaths in Anbar Province because officials could not verify the “status of those killed,” the mission said in a statement. They also excluded insurgent deaths.

At least 1,229 more Iraqis were wounded last month, the statement said. Baghdad was the most affected province, with 297 people killed and 585 wounded.

In Anbar Province, Islamist militants tied to Al Qaeda seized control of Falluja and parts of the provincial capital, Ramadi, after the authorities dismantled a protest camp of Sunni Muslims angry at what they see as second-class treatment by the Shiite-led government. The government and its tribal allies have besieged the rebel-held areas, with fighting reported daily.
