Excluding terror attacks and US soldiers killed in action, Mexico has seen more homicides of Americans than any other part of the world in the past decade, according to an AFP analysis of US State Department figures.
At least 648 American citizens were murdered in Mexico between October 2002 and December 2012 — the latest available data — representing more than 40 percent of the almost 1,600 victims worldwide over the same period.
The closest country in terms of body count is the Philippines, with 84 homicides, followed by Honduras and the Dominican Republic with 77 each.
There were also many more citizens of the United States murdered in Mexico than were killed in “terrorist action” around the world, with 300 deaths listed in that category since October 2002.
