In 2006, 45% of all terrorist attacks worldwide took place in Iraq

A rather sobering statistic considering the terrorists weren't in Iraq until Bush invaded. More from the Washington Post:

The number of terrorism incidents in Iraq -- and resulting deaths, injuries and kidnappings -- skyrocketed from 2005 to 2006, according to statistics released by U.S. counterterrorism officials yesterday.

Of the 14,338 reported terrorist attacks worldwide last year, 45 percent took place in Iraq, and 65 percent of the global fatalities stemming from terrorism occurred in Iraq. In 2005, Iraq accounted for 30 percent of the worldwide terrorist attacks.
Mission Accomplished! If you're Osama bin Laden.
