Baghdad Governorate (Arabic: محافظة بغداد Muḥāfaẓät Baġdād) in the nation of Iraq includes the city of Baghdad and the surrounding metropolitan area. It has an area of 734 km². In 2003, the estimated population of the province was 6,400,400 people. Baghdad governate, housing the city of Baghdad, is considered one of the more developed parts of Iraq, with a better infrastructure than much of Iraq, though heavily damaged from the invasion in 2003 and continuing violence today. Baghdad, even though considered the most heavily guarded area in Iraq, is still the scene of countless daily ambushes and attacks from Iraqi rebels directed towards Coalition troops.
