Global Terrorism Database

The Global Terrorism Database (GTD)™ is the most comprehensive unclassified database of terrorist attacks in the world. The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) makes the GTD™ available via this site in an effort to increase understanding of terrorist violence, so that it can be more readily studied and defeated. The GTD™ is produced by a dedicated team of researchers and technical staff, who are supported by an alumni of researchers. The governance of the database is assured by an advisory board which includes some of the most respected academics in the field of terrorism research.
