The Global Terrorism Database

The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) is a comprehensive, open-source collection of information on terrorist incidents worldwide from 1970 onward. It records details like the date, location, perpetrators, targets, and methods used in each attack. Researchers, policymakers, and security professionals use the GTD to analyze patterns, trends, and the impact of terrorism over time. It helps in understanding the causes and consequences of terrorism, guiding efforts to prevent future incidents and improve global security. The database is a valuable resource for gaining insights into the complex dynamics of terrorist activities globally.
