(CNSNews.com) - Civilians ran a greater risk of being killed in the border city of Juarez, Mexico, last year than in Baghdad, Iraq. The per capita rate of civilian killings in the Mexican border city in 2008 was nearly three-and-a-half times as great as the per capita rate of civilian killings in the Iraqi province of Baghdad, CNSNews.com has determined, based on State Department statistics and data supplied by an Iraqi civilian-casualty database recommended by the Department of Defense.
