Triangle of Death, War zone in Iraq
The Triangle of Death in Iraq is a name given to an area south of Baghdad during the 2003-2011 Iraq War.
During the Iraq War, the Triangle of Death was one of the most dangerous areas due to intense insurgent activity.
The region has a mix of Sunni and Shia populations, which contributed to the sectarian violence during the war.
Today, the area is relatively stable but still faces occasional incidents of violence.
Despite its violent past, the Triangle of Death is home to many historical sites, including ancient Babylon.
