Significant International Terrorist Incidents in 2004

The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), "the primary center for US government analysis of terrorism," has just released its Chronology of Significant International Terrorism 2004.

PDF format: http://www.tkb.org/documents/Downloads/NCTC_Report.pdf

The first 80 pages or so are a chronology of incidents, while the last few pages are a collection of graphs and pie charts. What is missing is a good sortable database of incidents by group, country or region. Conveniently, however, you can access the database (which has data for international incidents back to 1968 and both domestic and international back to 1998) from the home page of the The Terrorism Knowledge Base, sponsored by the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT):

There are also profiles of each group, such as FARC and you can also compare different groups. Here, for example, is a side-by-side comparison of FARC and AUC from 1998 to date. Also biographical information on leaders, and where available, photos.
