BTW, compare the size of the dots to the scale of the map in the NY Times version and the Guardian version. By using the same sized dots on a smaller map, the Guardian leaves the impression of a much larger fight.
I didn't see it in the Guardian graphic, but the breakdown is as follows:
Homemade bombs: 799 (34%)
Mortar and rocket fire: 664 (28%)
Small-arms fire: 527 (22%)
RPGs: 272 (11%)
Vehicle bombs: 40 (2%)
Hand grenades: 39 (2%)
Land mines: 27 (1%)
