Attacks occurring in war zones and insurgent theaters were not counted such as those in Iraq, Syria and Libya. In countries like Egypt and Pakistan where parts of the country are part of an insurgency campaign, only significant attacks outside of that area were counted. In places like Bangladesh where there is an increasing volume of low-level attacks, only those significant ones were counted. Where the latitude and longitude for the attack are available, they are used. When not available the center point of the closest know area are used.
