逊尼派三角（Sunni Triangle）是一个人口稠密地区的伊拉克巴格达西北部,主要由逊尼派穆斯林阿拉伯人居住。

大约三角地带的角落附近通常所说的Baqubah撒谎(东侧的三角形),巴格达(在南边),拉马迪(西边)和提克里特(北边)。每一方大约有125英里长。该地区的城市还包含了一个萨和费卢杰。

这个地区是一个中心的大力支持,伊拉克前总统萨达姆·侯赛因政府;从1970年代,许多政府工作人员、政客和军事领导人来自该地区。萨达姆本人出生提克里特城外。

2003年对伊拉克的入侵后,该地区成为焦点的逊尼派武装反对联盟的规则。这是人们普遍预测在西方媒体萨达姆将寻找避雨的逊尼派支持者和2003年12月13日,他在一次行动中被捕获在村里大约15公里的ad-Dawr提克里特南部。

术语“逊尼派三角”是1970年代的穿插使用专家,通常在学术伊拉克来区分它从北部和南部的国家。早期使用在主流媒体是一个旧金山纪事报》的文章,2002年9月14日在前联合国武器核查”斯科特码瑞欧瑞特说:“我们可以产生支持入侵的一些什叶派之间和一些库尔德人到巴格达,但你必须穿透逊尼派三角。”然而,它并没有达成广泛的使用,直到《纽约时报》,2003年6月10条流行术语在一份报告中对“美国最新的一项努力平息初生的南部地区的逊尼派武装抵抗的西部和北部地区(在巴格达被称为“]逊尼派三角’。”它已经成为几乎无处不在报告以美国为首的联军的努力,控制该地区。

“逊尼派三角”不应该混与所谓的“死亡”,一个三角形的巴格达以南居住。

The Sunni Triangle is a densely-populated region of Iraq to the northwest of Baghdad that is inhabited mostly by Sunni Muslim Arabs.

The roughly triangular area's corners are usually said to lie near Baqubah (on the east side of the triangle), Baghdad (on the South side), Ramadi (on the west side) and Tikrit (on the north side). Each side is approximately 125 miles long. The area also contains the cities of Samarra and Fallujah.

The area was a center of strong support for former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's government; starting in the 1970s many government workers, politicians, and military leaders came from the area. Saddam himself was born just outside Tikrit.

After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the area became a focus of armed Sunni opposition to Coalition rule. It was widely predicted in the Western press that Saddam would seek shelter from Sunni supporters and on December 13, 2003, he was captured in a raid on the village of ad-Dawr about 15 km south of Tikrit.

The term "Sunni triangle" was used intermittently from the 1970s among academic Iraq specialists, usually to differentiate it from the northern and southern parts of the country. An early use in mainstream media is a San Francisco Chronicle article of September 14, 2002 in which former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter says: "We may be able to generate support for an invasion among some of the Shiites and some of the Kurds, but to get to Baghdad you must penetrate the Sunni Triangle." However, it did not achieve widespread use until a New York Times article of June 10, 2003 popularised the term in a report on "a new U.S. effort to quell nascent armed resistance in Sunni Muslim-dominated areas north and west of Baghdad [in an] area known as the 'Sunni triangle'." It has since become virtually ubiquitous in reports on the US-led coalition's efforts to control the region.

The "Sunni Triangle" should not be confused with the so-called "Triangle of Death", an area south of Baghdad inhabited by Sunni majority which was the focus of major combat activity in November and December 2004.
