This map is powerful in its stark facts. It’s a simple point map on a Google base map but every point is report of one or more deaths, either armed forces, civilian or enemy, attributed to enemy fire, criminal activity, IED hazard, friendly fire, etc. These categorizations raise more questions than they address, of course, but the toll on civilians is plain when you navigate the deaths. Major thoroughfares and intersections seem particularly dangerous to armed forces and civilians alike.
