[The Baghdad death rate is] somewhere around 230 “suspicious deaths” each year for every 100,000 residents. In Bogota, Colombia, often considered one of the most violent cities in the world, the murder rate seldom exceeded 90 per 100,000 even at the peak of the 1990s drug wars. The situation in Baghdad has grown so bad that corpses not claimed from the morgue after a few weeks are now being buried in makeshift graves to make room for new arrivals. Since the beginning of the year, more than 400 unclaimed or unidentified bodies have had to be dealt with in this way.
