46,000 returned to Iraq last month

BAGHDAD - Declining violence has prompted Iraqi refugees to pack up and return home, with the government on Wednesday claiming 46,030 people crossed back over the borders in October alone.

Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, the Iraqi spokesman for a U.S.-Iraqi military push to pacify Baghdad, said border authorities recorded 46,030 people returning to Iraq in October and attributed the large number to the "improving security situation."

"The level of terrorist operations has dropped in most of the capital's neighborhoods, due to the good performance of the armed forces," al-Moussawi told reporters in the heavily guarded Green Zone. Al-Moussawi did not give numbers of Iraqis returning home before October.

Last month's numbers coincide with Syria and Jordan tightening their borders to Iraqis fleeing their homeland.

It's good see things coming together, it's going to take years, but the Iraqis will make better progress now that AQ in Iraq has been beaten down. Even the Sunni/shea are taking a breath.
