About Global Terrorism Database
The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) provides structured information on terrorist events around the world from 1970 through 2020. It includes more than 200,000 cases covering domestic as well as transnational and international incidents. Each record lists date and location, weapons and target, casualties, and responsible group when identifiable. Data are compiled from open media sources checked for credibility. Coverage for 1993 is incomplete because early records were lost.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
