SOURCES & METHOD
What this map establishes
Iraq Monitor compiles this record from ISIS-labelled claim material, Iraqi and Kurdish reporting, and fetched official security statements. Repeated coverage is reconciled into incident records. A claim, an occurrence report and ISIS attribution are assessed separately.
“Independently corroborated” requires distinct underlying reporting origins outside ISIS. Several outlets repeating one statement do not qualify. Counter-ISIS operations, old explosive remnants, uncertain identities and unresolved dates are excluded from this attack map.
Source copies are not authenticated merely by their branding. Claims alone remain claim-only. We publish original reporting links, with no original ISIS videos or outbound propaganda links. Casualty assertions stay attached to their sources.
Collection runs daily, with a weekly al-Naba review. This is an incomplete reporting record, not a risk forecast or a comprehensive count of attacks. Dates use Baghdad time.
