Op-Chart: 14 Days in Iraq

January 16, 2005
 By ADRIANA LINS de ALBUQUERQUE and ALICIA CHENG 



 

In the first two weeks of January, at least 202 people died
as a result of the insurgency in Iraq. The killings have
been indiscriminate. The dead include Iraqi officials,
police officers, civilians and, of course, Iraqi, American
and coalition soldiers. The attacks shown here took place
across the country, but there is a clear concentration in
the so-called Sunni Triangle, which stretches from Tikrit
in the north to Baghdad in the east and to Falluja and
Ramadi in the west. 

While the daily toll is noted by the news media in
headlines and video clips, many Americans have a hard time
incorporating these individual pieces of information into a
coherent image over time. This map, based on Pentagon data
and news reports, shows the number killed and wounded since
Jan. 1. Because of the limits placed on reporters and the
military's need to inform families, there may have been
additional casualties during this period that are not noted
here. The map also does not include Iraqi civilians
accidentally killed by coalition forces. Still, it is our
attempt to visually depict the human cost of a fortnight in
an embattled land. 

Adriana Lins de Albuquerque is a senior research assistant
at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Alicia Cheng is
a graphic designer at mgmt. design in Brooklyn.
