Graphic Provides Geospacial Rendering of Afghan Attacks

HeadlineAug 11, 2010

The online web-blog Zero Intelligence Agents, meanwhile, has published a geospatial graphic of the escalating violence in Afghanistan. The graphic is based on the record of attacks revealed in the trove of leaked military documents published by the website WikiLeaks last month. Divided for every year of the war up until last year, the dots representing attacks increase chronologically until ultimately forming a dense ring around the entire Afghan map. According to the UN, Afghan civilian casualties have risen by 31 percent in the first half of 2010.
