Pakistan Ties Iraq for Most Suicide Bombing Deaths

Pakistan's Post compares numbers of incidents and numbers of deaths from suicide bombings in three Muslim countries and comes up with surprising results. In these first months of 2008, Pakistan had the most attacks (18 to Iraq's 13), while Iraq had the most deaths (274 to Pakistan's 250). Afghanistan came in way behind with 3 attacks and 15 dead.

Comments: (1) Coalition troops are not fighting in Pakistan. (2) Israel's totals trail these two countries by an order of magnitude. (March 24, 2008)
