I suspect a lot of other cities would be up there if they provided better statistics?

Is South Africa the only violent country on the African continent? I rather doubt it. But maybe they don’t keep any statistics to rely on in Sudan or Congo?

And how about Libya or Syria? Or Afghanistan?

I looked up deaths from terrorist attacks in Mosul and Tikrit (Iraq) in just the past 30 days. Mosul had 51 deaths and Tikrit had 29. Projecting those out over a year, you get 612 and 348, respectively, and these are just terrorist homicides, not “ordinary” ones. Tikrit would rank third on the list with 133.85 homicides per 100,000 population, and Mosul would rank seventh, with a rate of 87.4. And these figures do NOT include non-terrorist homicides. Baghdad, because of its very large population (7.2 million), would only score 17.5 per 100,000 despite an estimated 1,260 terrorist-related homicides.
