Now Available to the Public: Global Terrorism Database
Global Terrorism Database

From press release:
The world's largest unclassified database of terrorism attacks is now available online for general use by researchers, policy-makers, media and the general public -- an important tool that the researchers say may aid in the development of more effective responses to terrorism.
...
The database, five years in the making, includes 80,000 terror incidents from 1970 through 2004. START plans to update the database through 2007 within the next 12 months. The Internet site is designed to be as user friendly as possible. Each attack is coded on more than 100 variables to aid in the identification and explanation of trends in domestic and international terrorism.
Providing in-depth information for researchers, policymakers, emergency responders, and the general public, the Terrorism Knowledge Base integrates data from the RAND Terrorism Chronology and RAND-MIPT Terrorism Incident databases; the Terrorism Indictment database; and DeticaDFI's research on terrorist organizations.
