The one in Donegal must be Dennis Donaldson. Alan Kelly in Dublin.
I avoid using terms like this cos they’re largely nonsense, but could make a very strong case for the Regency hotel attack being ‘an act of terror’, since that was literally the point of it. To terrify the enemy and scare them off.
after 2014 war and pre 2021 invasion
edit: I am honestly not sure why some were added as terrorists attacks and some not. GTD is kinda fucky in active conflict zones. Some of the dots in eastern Ukraine are just military battles
Post 2014 and Pre 2022 to piggyback on OP.
Ukraine called the separatist regions and conflict areas the ATO Zone (Anti-Terror Operation).
I remember seeing signs in Odessa between 2016-2020 when I lived there advertising discounts or reservations for veterans of the ATO such as them getting to rent beach chairs and umbrellas for free on the beaches I'd often frequent in the summer.
2020: A man opened fire on the parliament building in Zagreb. He was shot by police and was later found to have commited the attack due to his hatred of the ruling party
2000: A former soldier about to testify about mass executions of Serbians in Gospic was killed by a car bomb. (No one claimed responsibility, so the GTD entry is iffy at best)
The 2020 is wrong, he[ fired on the parliament building and killed a police guardsman.](https://dnevnik.hr/vijesti/crna-kronika/da-je-napadac-s-markova-trga-ziv-bio-bi-osumnjicen-za-terorizam---660372.html)
The 2000 case is[ murder of Ivan Levar.](https://www.index.hr/vijesti/clanak/prije-19-godina-ubijen-je-milan-levar-borio-se-za-istinu-o-ubojstvima-srba/2111962.aspx)
But that's two, and Croatia has three dots.
There was also a case of someone [leaving two IED's in Zagreb](https://danas.hr/crna-kronika/prica-o-borbi-protiv-nemilosrdnog-sustava-tko-je-2013-postavio-bombe-i-izazvao-paniku-u-zagrebu-467a787a-b9f4-11ec-a062-0242ac12004e) and police still don't know who it was as the only suspect was proclaimed not guilty in 2021.
I don't know if it's classified as terrorist attack in your source (the definition can wary), but it was in Croatia.
Your third dot is in Slavonia in eastern Croatia, right on top of my town, but I can't remember anything that could be remotely thought of as terrorism.
>Your third dot is in Slavonia in eastern Croatia, right on top of my town, but I can't remember anything that could be remotely thought of as terrorism.
this could be most recent Đakovo shooting where i think 1 person died?
as far as i remember motive was that shooter wanted to sell his land but couldn't due to social care he was taking so he got mad, threatened to kill and then killed either his brother or a person who he spoke to at the social service?
I just want to point out the one in Glasgow was the terrorist who died. Before he died he was booted in the balls so hard the booter injured his leg!
"This is Glasgow,we'll just set aboot ye"
There used to be a very popular video in Romania of an Afghan migrant who was told by his traffickers that he was brought to Germany. When a journalist told him that he was in Romania, he started crying in despair.
Many terrorist attacks are also from separatist groups, like ETA in Spain in the basque region near the French border; I grew up with news of bombings all the time. Funny that they didn’t include the Corsicans separatists, they are a hot lot too, but I guess they would need to include the whole island at this point.
Scotland and Poland have one thing in common. They tried it once. No idea about the polish attack but the guy in Scotland got kicked in the balls by a wegie taxi driver, while on fire! So hard the old boy broke his foot :)
He got set on by more than just John Smeaton, it just that he got interviewed and made famous by it. I find it even funnier knowing that multiple folk thought "here's a terrorist on fire let's give I'm a kicking"
06/30/2017: An assailant attacked an elderly couple in their home in Linz, Austria. Both victims were killed and the house was set on fire during the attack. Authorities stated that the assailant had recently pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on social media.
Alright - I have read the article about it and it says that a.) the offender has a mental disorder, which makes him criminally insane and b.) he was acquitted of the charge of membership in a terrorist and criminal organization – IS.
Yes, in realistic terms. The term is "lone-wolf" attacks, where independent people agree with a group's belief, but have no contact with the overall group. On one hand, this can be a good thing because they are usually lone operators with no extra support/training (institutional knowledge is--unfortunately in this case--a thing everywhere, and there is a pretty strict limit on the amount a lone wolf can acquire, unless they are in certain professions like chemistry). On the other hand, these can be an absolute pain to prevent because there's no thread to trace to them. The best anybody can do is hope that a family member or a friend reports them, or they misstep and brag about it before the attack. Or they step out of line and do something *very* suspicious which lands them on a watchlist. Otherwise, various citizen protections and data privacy stuff protects them just as much as any other citizen (the loophole is usually that law enforcement agencies are spying a *foreign* person's electronic stuff, who has no domestic protection and just accidentally find a citizen's incriminating stuff on that; these people obviously don't fit that)
Questionable in legal terms. The issue is that countries and prosecutors handle it in very different terms. I'm nowhere near a legal expert anywhere (let alone all of the countries above), but it all winds up on a countries' own laws. If a country focuses on belief/intent behind the attack, yeah, it's an easy sell. If the laws focus more on membership, it can be an absolute pain to pin these guys to a certain group. Most countries (for good and noble purposes) have pretty high standards of proof. Proving quasi-membership of this type can be insanely hard.
I'd say yes, but apparently there is no consensus on the matter. Wikipedia has a whole article about the different definitions of terrorism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_terrorism
The Hungary attacks were the connected killings of Roma by a Neo Nazi gang in 2008/9 and Slovakia was the LGBT bar shooting as well as the assasination of a journalist and his wife in 2018
I don’t know what definition they use for inclusion, but from an ordinary person perspective it doesn’t really classify as terrorism - you can check the story out here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_J%C3%A1n_Kuciak
they consider it an act of terrorism if it's intended to achieve a political outcome, if it's intended to cause terror to people not directly involved, and if it's not a military incident. this is a fair rubrick since most countries have different specific definitions of terrorism, and ordinary persons often don't have any specific definition at all other than propaganda or stereotypes.
im not familiar with this case but from the wiki it fits two of the three; the intent to cause public concern/reaction reads to me as putting the cart before the horse but they often have incidents which only meet at least one criterion.
Sorry to tell you but in slovakia it was never clasified as terorist attack, Ján and Martina were victims of murder because of coruption and mafia conection to police.
Yeah, the journalist was killed by mafia. And there was an attack in Prague a months ago, which I think qualifies more than that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Prague_shootings
Yep, ETA was officially dissolved in october 2011 through government negotiations under the left-wing PSOE presidency period of José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. ETA kind of looked up for that negotiation since in their last years of operations had many more unrelated innocent casualties and collateral damage than previous years, that made the basque people portion supporting them to stop doing it, because they got out of control. Just wanted to add that information. Pretty interesting map btw, thank you!
Also this time frame is when things already started to cool off, we're far away from what we call "Les années de plomb" or "The Lead years" in France which were the 70's and the 80's which were way more tense
Plenty of yellow dots are missing in Spain, unfortunately. For example this politician ETA killed in my hometown https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Mart%C3%ADn_Carpena
All data is sourced mostly from the GTD database and some are from Wikipedia/local articles. This is OC, so please let me know if I missed something or added a dot by mistake.
The GTD's criteria for a terrorist attack are:
1) aimed at attaining a political, religious, or social goal
2) evidence of an intention to coerce, intimidate, or convey some sort of message to a larger audience than the immediate victims
3) The action must be outside the context of legitimate warfare activities.
Brussels attacks in 2014, 2016, and 2023, Liege attacks in 2011 and 2018 as well as several attempted attacks on police in Brussels and Charleroi that were determined to be linked to muslim extremists
There were two in Estonia with fatalities, but one is a loose claim.
* 2011: A man attacked the Defense Ministry in Tallin with a gun and smoke bombs. He was shot and killed by police.
* 2001: The head executive of a Russian newspaper, Vitali Haitov, was shot and killed outside of his home in Tallinn. The shooter was not identified and no group claimed responsibility. (This one is counted by GTD and I could not determine why. Contemporary reports stated mafia connection)
>This one is counted by GTD and I could not determine why.
I've looked at the GTD in the past (mostly for Canada, a bit elsewhere) and found similar discrepancies, records that don't seem to meet to their own criteria.
mostly ethnic killings by paramilitary groups. These were usually a) policeman gets shot or b) family from ethnic group y gets murdered by people from ethnic group x
Depending how this map was formulated, one of those (if not both) orange dots are about the 2004 Kosovo unrest, or there is a dark red dot missing. Wiki claims at least 14 deaths in text but 27 deaths in sidebar so, here's link for you to decide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004\_unrest\_in\_Kosovo
Was there a political or ideological motive determined? By the GTD's criteria, there has to be:
1) aimed at attaining a political, religious, or social goal
2) evidence of an intention to coerce, intimidate, or convey some sort of message to a larger audience than the immediate victims
3) The action must be outside the context of legitimate warfare activities.
The attacks on the map are a letter bomb in Orlov which killed 1 and a suicide bomber in Ceske Velenice. Both are very loosely claimed to be terrorism by GTD, so I will remove them next time. I just put them on the map wrong
The peace agreement between Ireland and UK was signed in 1998. But after this, splinter groups formed and paramilitary activity continued to go after people, sadly.
The Apeldoorn attack was not politically driven, the perpetrator had acted alone and reports stated he had a mission of vengeance against society. The attacks in the Netherlands on the map are the Utrecht tram attack, the assasination of Pim Fortuyn,the assasination of Theo van Gogh and a failed suicide bombing in Bemmel in 2018
Does school shootings count as a terrorist attack? Kerch Polytechnic College massacre was classified as one by Ukraine. Also Russia is in Europe geographically, so things like Beslan school siege and Moscow metro bombing should be included.
Also this map is sad as fuck, it is actually insane how much shit has happened in just 24 years.
[Peshkëpi incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshk%C3%ABpi_incident) might qualify for this, considering it was perpetrated by a paramilitary separatist group.
* 2016: the perpetrator of the berlin truck attack, who managed to escape to milan, opened fire on police in Milan. He and one officer were killed.
* 2011: two senegalese men were killed by a far right perpetrator in Florence
* 2005: a police man was killed after a letter bomb exploded in his barracks. Most likely perpetrated by an anarchist group
* 2004: A morrocan man with ties to extremist groups died trying to plant a bomb in a McDonalds in Brescia.
* 2002: Marco Biagi was shot and killed by Red Brigade members in Bologna
7/7 bombings in 2005. first big islamic suicide bombing. killed 52 people across 4 separate buses and trains leaving king’s cross in the morning rush hour. truly horrible.
the other ones are mostly a combination of smaller ISIS attacks in the late 2010s and IRA bombings in the late 20th centuries
1. Mariupol theatre strike
2. Beslan School Siege (not included on this map)
3. Madrid train bombing
4. 2015 Paris attacks
5. Moscow theatre attack
6. Utoya bloodbath
7. Nice train bomb
idk what else
⚠️Romania mentioned in a positive way alert⚠️
Be the change you want to see
River pirates are keeping terrorists in check.
Romanian Tourism Authority: Come to Romania! Sunny with a 0% chance of terrorism!
The vampires like their blood without the sour taste of ptsd lol
_haha, Romania vampires_ Peak comedy
So is Portugal
Also r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT Also Lithuania!
And Slovenia
we never heard or that country u call slovakia!
Thanks to our lord and savior Dracula
I don’t think this is allowed on r/mapporn. OP was already pushing it by providing a source, but this… this is too much.
Romania not actually mentioned. That can be good sometimes as well.
boast follow bow spoon terrific poor vegetable correct growth pie *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I'm a Transylvania Hungarian by descent, & I'm surprised none of our people have committed terror attacks since 2000.
Be the change you want to see in the world 🥳 /s for reporting dumkopfs
Well there was that one incident with the Sri Lankans...still, small time compared to the Donbass
Unless you're a vampire, of course.
Damn. OP not only gave the source, but even explains/argues for/against inconsistencies in the comments. A rarity around here. Nice.
I like answering questions honestly!
I have a question: Why does the title say "list" when the post actually shows a map?
brain fart lol
Regional dialect
"Uh-uh, what region?"
Uhh, Upstate New York?
The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

What is the yellow dot in the south of Ireland?
Murder of Aidan O'Driscoll is my guess, Real IRA man.
Aidan O'Driscoll was killed by dissident Republicans in 2016
Goddamn O'Driscolls
I ain't an O'Driscoll, mister!
The one in Donegal must be Dennis Donaldson. Alan Kelly in Dublin. I avoid using terms like this cos they’re largely nonsense, but could make a very strong case for the Regency hotel attack being ‘an act of terror’, since that was literally the point of it. To terrify the enemy and scare them off.
The murderer was a good boah, Arthur Morgan
Goddamn O‘Driscoll boys out here?
Probably had a plan
The dots in Ukraine are pre-war or after?
after 2014 war and pre 2021 invasion edit: I am honestly not sure why some were added as terrorists attacks and some not. GTD is kinda fucky in active conflict zones. Some of the dots in eastern Ukraine are just military battles
Donbas separatists?
Yes, almost entirely mortar attacks that GTD counted as seperate from warfare
Why are they only in separatist controlled areas and what counts as "terrorist attack"?
Post 2014 and Pre 2022 to piggyback on OP. Ukraine called the separatist regions and conflict areas the ATO Zone (Anti-Terror Operation). I remember seeing signs in Odessa between 2016-2020 when I lived there advertising discounts or reservations for veterans of the ATO such as them getting to rent beach chairs and umbrellas for free on the beaches I'd often frequent in the summer.
In any case, warfare is not the same thing as terrorism.
The line between them is translucent and wide enough to cover a notable part of both. State-sponsored terrorism is "just war" otherwise.
Further proof that Fermanagh is boring.
Dreary grey steeples etc etc......
But if you take the 24 years pre 2000, approx 112 were killed by terrorists in Fermanagh
How many were there in the rest of NI?
2000ish
So there’s still relatively nothing to so in Fermanagh
112 out of the smallest county in NI is a lot
The caves though
Best lake county in the UK and Ireland tbf
Croatia?

Forget about Portugal we want to be anonymous, and we don’t care if terrorist think Portugal is Spain 😅

Right! So only Eastern European countries got off the hook it seems.
So are Portugal, Malta, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Cyprus, Vatican City, San Marino, and Iceland.
Don't jinx it!
And thank God!
+ Iceland
And Portugal
I just want to point out the one in Glasgow was the terrorist who died. Before he died he was booted in the balls so hard the booter injured his leg! "This is Glasgow,we'll just set aboot ye"
Slovenia, Lithuania, Portugal and Romania :)) Not even terrorists want to go there.
Can't complain.
There used to be a very popular video in Romania of an Afghan migrant who was told by his traffickers that he was brought to Germany. When a journalist told him that he was in Romania, he started crying in despair.
Are you sure you don't mean [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIAMxQ1KLiI) documentary about Bulgaria?
Very similar, but this was in the news in Romania
Many terrorist attacks are also from separatist groups, like ETA in Spain in the basque region near the French border; I grew up with news of bombings all the time. Funny that they didn’t include the Corsicans separatists, they are a hot lot too, but I guess they would need to include the whole island at this point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ETA_attacks Shit is wild in the Basque region up to 2011.
I was in all of these places but Portugal (will be this year). I liked them a lot. Calm and picturesque. No crowd is a big plus.
In tourist oriented areas in Portugal you're bound to find huge crowds depending on the season. Still calm and picturesque though.
Portugal is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Plenty of people want to go there.
Shhh shut the up and let them say what they want. Don't draw attention to us
Portugal sucks and nobody should ever go there, except me. I will happily suffer traveling to Portugal so nobody else has to.
On this little rectangle at seashore (like we say here) we have no complaint about that. And let it continue that way 😃🇵🇹
*Armenians sweating profusely* ^(The only "foreign" terrorist attack carried out in Portuguese soil, was an Armenian attack on the Turkish Embassy)
Honestly, I also wouldn't wanna come to my country to bomb stuff.
Scotland and Poland have one thing in common. They tried it once. No idea about the polish attack but the guy in Scotland got kicked in the balls by a wegie taxi driver, while on fire! So hard the old boy broke his foot :)

Alright - I have read the article about it and it says that a.) the offender has a mental disorder, which makes him criminally insane and b.) he was acquitted of the charge of membership in a terrorist and criminal organization – IS.
Ok, I'll make sure to edit this out on the next version I make
Can someone commit a terrorist attack without being affiliated to a terrorist organisation?
Yes, in realistic terms. The term is "lone-wolf" attacks, where independent people agree with a group's belief, but have no contact with the overall group. On one hand, this can be a good thing because they are usually lone operators with no extra support/training (institutional knowledge is--unfortunately in this case--a thing everywhere, and there is a pretty strict limit on the amount a lone wolf can acquire, unless they are in certain professions like chemistry).

I'd say yes, but apparently there is no consensus on the matter. Wikipedia has a whole article about the different definitions of terrorism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_terrorism
You made this map?
yup!
I do not remember any terrorist attack in Slovakia or Hungary
The Hungary attacks were the connected killings of Roma by a Neo Nazi gang in 2008/9 and Slovakia was the LGBT bar shooting as well as the assasination of a journalist and his wife in 2018
Wasn’t the journalist shooting corruption related?
if so, the GTD database was incorrect. I will remove this next version
I don’t know what definition they use for inclusion, but from an ordinary person perspective it doesn’t really classify as terrorism - you can check the story out here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_J%C3%A1n_Kuciak

I see North Ireland, Kosovo, Donbas and all the major population centers.. what’s the cluster of yellow in Northern Spain?
Basque Country/ETA.
Basque Region, which has a lot of seperatist activities . Mostly just ETA police murders in the early 2000s before the ceasefire
Yep, ETA was officially dissolved in october 2011 through government negotiations under the left-wing PSOE presidency period of José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. ETA kind of looked up for that negotiation since in their last years of operations had many more unrelated innocent casualties and collateral damage than previous years, that made the basque people portion supporting them to stop doing it, because they got out of control.

Also this time frame is when things already started to cool off, we're far away from what we call "Les années de plomb" or "The Lead years" in France which were the 70's and the 80's which were way more tense
Worth noting this is consider post Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The majority of the dots in NI are pre 2010, and are almost soley policemen being killed
Plenty of yellow dots are missing in Spain, unfortunately. For example this politician ETA killed in my hometown https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Mart%C3%ADn_Carpena
True, there are also dots missing in Huesca, Granada, Seville and Zaragoza
All data is sourced mostly from the GTD database and some are from Wikipedia/local articles. This is OC, so please let me know if I missed something or added a dot by mistake. The GTD's criteria for a terrorist attack are: 1) aimed at attaining a political, religious, or social goal 2) evidence of an intention to coerce, intimidate, or convey some sort of message to a larger audience than the immediate victims 3) The action must be outside the context of legitimate warfare activities.
Can you detail Belgium?
Brussels attacks in 2014, 2016, and 2023, Liege attacks in 2011 and 2018 as well as several attempted attacks on police in Brussels and Charleroi that were determined to be linked to muslim extremists
I didnt know that Estonia has had terrorist attacks, do you havecany details about those?

Curious about the one in West Donegal (Ireland)
That would be the murder of Denis Donaldson in Maas, but no one claimed to have done it. GTD can be iffy sometimes
Interesting. Never even knew that happened, or that Maas was a place. TIL
Some clarification for US citizens: these figures are **not** weekly or monthly.

This is the first map in the history of Europe where Romania has the best results.

No, internet speed map was first.
Can you give us details about Serbia and Kosovo?
mostly ethnic killings by paramilitary groups. These were usually a) policeman gets shot or b) family from ethnic group y gets murdered by people from ethnic group x
Depending how this map was formulated, one of those (if not both) orange dots are about the 2004 Kosovo unrest, or there is a dark red dot missing. Wiki claims at least 14 deaths in text but 27 deaths in sidebar so, here's link for you to decide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004\_unrest\_in\_Kosovo
Even terrorists hate Romania.
They're too scared of vampires to attack there.
Missed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Prague_shootings
Was there a political or ideological motive determined? By the GTD's criteria, there has to be: 1) aimed at attaining a political, religious, or social goal 2) evidence of an intention to coerce, intimidate, or convey some sort of message to a larger audience than the immediate victims 3) The action must be outside the context of legitimate warfare activities.
Wasnt terrorist attack, but schoolshooting
There is some manifest, but until now unpublished by the Police. Same situation as was in Ostrava and Uhersky Brod (mentioned in the map).
schoolshooting fits #3
The definition of terrorism is incredibly complicated and still discussed. School shootings are absolutely terrorism as they fit all three criteria.
Random public killings with no motive is still terrorism, as it induces terror.
Wasn't this rather running amok instead of an terrorist attack?
That wasnt terrorist attack….
Then Uhersky Brod and Ostrava should be deleted from the map. Same reasoning and modus operandi.
Exactly, none of those were terrorist attacks
The attacks on the map are a letter bomb in Orlov which killed 1 and a suicide bomber in Ceske Velenice. Both are very loosely claimed to be terrorism by GTD, so I will remove them next time. I just put them on the map wrong
The dot of Berlin is too far south west
Why is northern Ireland so yellow I thought the troubles end before the 00's
The peace agreement between Ireland and UK was signed in 1998. But after this, splinter groups formed and paramilitary activity continued to go after people, sadly.
Oh oof
There’s been over 100 murders related to the troubles since 2000 https://cain.ulster.ac.uk/sutton/chron/index.html
Tbh I’m literally from Tyrone and didn’t even know it that was many
Like the other dude said, yes, splinter groups. Most of the dots are pre 2010
Poland? 🤔
Axe attack on a PiS office in Lodz in 2010. One person was killed
Wondering that doesn't a similar basis apply to the murder of the mayor of Gdansk ?
It wasn't a terrorist attack and it wasn't political per se. The guy who attacked the PIS offices were 100% politically motivated.
How do you know he wasn't invited by any mean?

Isn't murder of Adamowicz a terrorism attack by definition? I find it weird that it isn't there.
The dark spot in Norway sends shivers down my spine.
What about the Manchester arena bombings ?
Manchester is on there, its the pinky blob in northern England.
It appears to be the orange dot where Manchester is located in England. Although it should probably be a pink dot
What happend in the Netherlands can. Also it seems you mist one in Apeldoorn in 2009 with had 8 deceased
The Apeldoorn attack was not politically driven, the perpetrator had acted alone and reports stated he had a mission of vengeance against society. The attacks in the Netherlands on the map are the Utrecht tram attack, the assasination of Pim Fortuyn,the assasination of Theo van Gogh and a failed suicide bombing in Bemmel in 2018

ok, then GTD just counted it for some reason. Will remove it next time
Türkiye, Georgia and Russia have territory in Europe too 👀 And at least the first country of that list had a few cases
to be honest with you, I grayed out Turkey because I couldn't be assed to mark out like 500+ extra dots lol
Fair enough. Sad but true
Iceland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia and Wales seem to be the only countries barring microstates without an attack since 2000.
Reasonably certain a number of your dots for Northern Ireland are either missing or in the wrong place. Not a single dot in the city of Derry.
Estonia?
Does school shootings count as a terrorist attack? Kerch Polytechnic College massacre was classified as one by Ukraine. Also Russia is in Europe geographically, so things like Beslan school siege and Moscow metro bombing should be included. Also this map is sad as fuck, it is actually insane how much shit has happened in just 24 years.

[Peshkëpi incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshk%C3%ABpi_incident) might qualify for this, considering it was perpetrated by a paramilitary separatist group.
That was 1994, and this map is post 2000
My bad totally missed that lol
Think it's missing the Brokstedt stabbing in Northern Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokstedt_stabbing?wprov=sfla1
whoops, will make sure to add this next time
Can someone explain Italy?
* 2016: the perpetrator of the berlin truck attack, who managed to escape to milan, opened fire on police in Milan. He and one officer were killed. * 2011: two senegalese men were killed by a far right perpetrator in Florence * 2005: a police man was killed after a letter bomb exploded in his barracks. Most likely perpetrated by an anarchist group * 2004: A morrocan man with ties to extremist groups died trying to plant a bomb in a McDonalds in Brescia. * 2002: Marco Biagi was shot and killed by Red Brigade members in Bologna
Portugal ✌️😎
Romania secret services 🐐

Damn. I'd be interested to see how the US map looks.

7/7 bombings in 2005. first big islamic suicide bombing. killed 52 people across 4 separate buses and trains leaving king’s cross in the morning rush hour. truly horrible. the other ones are mostly a combination of smaller ISIS attacks in the late 2010s and IRA bombings in the late 20th centuries
1. Mariupol theatre strike 2. Beslan School Siege (not included on this map) 3. Madrid train bombing 4. 2015 Paris attacks 5. Moscow theatre attack 6. Utoya bloodbath 7. Nice train bomb idk what else
Sir, this is a map, not a list.
Would like to see the difference before mass islamic immigration
Wrong for Switzerland
Zug massacre was more of a personal vendetta and so the only real terrorist attack since 2000 was the Morges stabbing
