The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) is an
open-source database including information on
terrorist events around the world from 1970 through
2007 (with annual updates planned for the future).
Unlike many other event databases, the GTD includes
systematic data on domestic as well as transnational
and international terrorist incidents that have
occurred during this time period and now includes
more than 80,000 cases. For each GTD incident,
information is available on the date and location of
the incident, the weapons used and nature of the
target, the number of casualties, and—when
identifiable—the group or individual responsible.
The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism
and Responses to Terrorism (START) is making the GTD
available via this online interface in an effort to
increase understanding of terrorist violence so that
it can be more readily studied and defeated.

Brotherhood
of Terror.
New York : A&E Home Video : History Channel : Distributed by New Video
Group, 2005.
For many Americans, the morning of
September 11, 2001 made the threat of Islamic fundamentalism a grave
reality. But long before al Qaeda, the roots of the threat to America from
the Middle East grew in an organization called the Muslim Brotherhood.
Journey to Cairo, Egypt, where the Brotherhood was born in the late 1920s.
Learn how Brotherhood members passed radical ideologies to legions of
followers, including Ayman Zawahiri, who would become Osama bin Laden's
right-hand man. Today, some experts say the Brotherhood could be a powerful
ally in fighting the war on terror, while others believe that its dark
history makes this movement one that can never be trusted. Probe the
contours of this emerging debate with leading experts.
