Coalition casualties have not been distributed equally by province. This source attributes as many casualties as it can manage from the U.S. led coalition as follows (which is only a small part of total casulties, but is a fairly good indicator of where hot conflict is in Iraq), and is followed by a regional description (SE Iraq=Sumer, N Iraq mostly Kurdistan, remainder central Iraq):

*Anbar 808 (Central) Home to cities of Fallujah, Ramadi and Abu Ghraib.
*Baghdad 575 (Central) Capitol City-Province.
