Summary
The Global Terrorism Database is an open-source database including information on terrorist events around the world from 1970 through 2020.
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 the group or individual responsible.
Right now the GTD has been discontinued due to a lack of funding.
