BAGHDAD, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Suspected al Qaeda militants killed 10 people when they raided a Shi'ite Muslim village north of Baghdad early on Saturday, police said.

An unknown number of civilians were also wounded when the Sunni Islamist gunmen raided the village of Dwelah in volatile Diyala province north of Baghdad.

The attack came a day after Iraqi government statistics showed the number of civilians killed throughout the country in November fell to the lowest level in nearly two years. (Writing by Alaa Shahine; Editing by Paul Tait)

The mainly Shi'ite district, near where the Diyala river flows into the Tigris on the southeast outskirts of the capital, is an example of a developing pattern in Iraq. With violence dropping across much of the country, Iraqis are drawing up a new list of demands: instead of asking Iraqi and U.S. forces for protection, they want jobs and improvements to basic services.
