To be included, entries must be notable (have a stand-alone article) and described by a consensus of reliable sources as "terrorism".
List entries must comply with the guidelines outlined in the manual of style under MOS:TERRORIST.
Casualty figures in this list are the total casualties of the incident including immediate casualties and later casualties (such as people who succumbed to their wounds long after the attacks occurred).
Casualties listed are the victims. Perpetrator casualties are listed separately (e.g. x (+y) indicate that x victims and y perpetrators were killed/injured).
Casualty totals may be underestimated or unavailable due to a lack of information. A figure with a plus (+) sign indicates that at least that many people have died (e.g. 10+ indicates that at least 10 people have died) – the actual toll could be considerably higher. A figure with a plus (+) sign may also indicate that over that number of people are victims.
If casualty figures are 20 or more, they will be shown in bold. In addition, figures for casualties more than 50 will also be underlined.
Incidents are limited to one per location per day. If multiple attacks occur in the same place on the same day, they will be merged into a single incident.
In addition to the guidelines above, the table also includes the following categories:
69-year-old Palestinian immigrant Ali Hassan Abu Kamal opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building killing a Danish musician and injuring 6 other people before committing suicide. 10 years after the attack Kamal's daughter revealed that her father committed the shooting in hopes of influencing the U.S. to support Palestine rather than Israel
Uyghyr separatists bombed three buses in Ürümqi, killing 9 people, including 3 children, and injuring 74. Another bomb was found at Ürümqi's main railway station but was defused. The bombings were a response to the Ghulja incident in which the Chinese army killed several Uyghur protestors.
A team of 142 Peruvian soldiers raided the Japanese embassy where the MRTA were holding several hostages. Two soldiers, one hostage and 14 rebels were killed in a raid.
An Italian tourist named Fabio di Celmo was killed in a bomb blast at a hotel. This was one of a series of bombings of hotels in Cuba in 1997. Anti-Castro rebels led by Luis Posada Carriles were convicted of the attack.
The attack was carried out by al-Qaeda-connected Islamic extremists, and targeted Croatian civilians and policemen as retribution against the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), which had fought Muslim forces for control of the city during the Bosnian War. It remains the most serious terrorist attack in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.
FARC militants attack an army base on the hill of Patascoy, southwest of Colombia near the border with Ecuador. 11 military killed and 18 kidnapped.[3]
