Chronological FBI summary of terrorist incidents, 1980-2004
Legend: Group types
DT-LW: Domestic Terrorism, Left Wing
DT-RW: Domestic Terrorism, Right Wing
DT-SI: Domestic Terrorism, Special Interest
IT-FTG: International Terrorism, Foreign Terrorist Group
IT-GJ: International Terrorism, Global Jihadist
IT-SS: International Terrorism, State Sponsor
Unk: Group unknown
The FBI defines a terrorist incident as a violent act or an act dangerous to human life aimed at intimidating or coercing a government or the civilian population in pursuit of political or social aims.
In tracking these attacks, it breaks them down in two broad categories — international and domestic terrorism.
Among domestic terrorists, the Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front and other militant animal-rights and environmental groups — categorized as Special interest domestic terrorists — have been involved in the greatest number of incidents in the past decade. But none of their actions have resulted in injuries or death.
The FBI does not classify the vast majority of attacks on abortion clinics as acts of domestic terrorism. Thus, almost all of these attacks — tallied at more than 4,200 since 1976 by the National Abortion Federation - are not included in the data base. One notable exception is the Eric Rudolph attacks on abortion clinics.
Total casualties per year are at bottom. All data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
