From Holden:
Civilian deaths in Baghdad in July were more than New York City had in all of 2004, and that’s excluding car bombings and suicide bombings.

Baghdad central morgue director, Faiq Amin Bakr, said 880 violent deaths occurred in the city in July.
There are more than 5 million people living in Baghdad.
