Lots of 💥 In 04

Iraq’s ‘Triangle of Death’ is still famously dangerous real estate...

The road leading south out of Baghdad never looked like a typical killing field you’d imagine; it looked like farmland. Canals threaded between palm groves, wheat and date plots worked by the families who owned them, the Euphrates bending along the southwestern edge of all of it. If you ever rode those canal roads between 2004 and 2007, you learned fast not to trust any of it.

That culvert up ahead might simply be a culvert, or it might be a 155mm artillery shell wired to a cordless phone, buried by a man who farmed the field beside it.

A wedge of ground anchored by the towns of Mahmudiyah, Yusufiyah, and Iskandariyah formed a rough triangle riding just below the capital. American troops eventually would call the place the Triangle of Death.

It became one of the deadliest pieces of real estate in the entire war. It earned the title the way most things in Iraq earned their titles through the repetition of men and women who drove out and did not drive back.
