Graphic Provides Geospacial Rendering of Afghan Attacks
-------------------------------------------------------



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 Wiki Leaks 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.
