as of 11 Sep. 2015

The following charts show worldwide terrorist and rebel incidents that occurred at homes by Primary Target Sector tracked in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) Incident Component for 2015 as of 11 Sep. 2015.

During the period there were 148 terrorist and rebel incidents that occurred at homes. The Primary Target Sector with the highest number of incidents was Military & Police at 26% (38). Government came in second at 17% (25) with Tribal/Ethnic/Religious Group in a distant third at 7% (10). In 32% (48) of incidents, the target sector was unknown.

Methodology Note:
Rebel Group represents the homes of other rebels. Tribal/Ethnic/Religious Group represents people targeted merely because of their belonging to that group. Religious represents religious figures and those with a position within a religion. While IntelCenter makes every attempt to identify all incidents, the nature of reporting makes that nearly impossible. These numbers should be viewed as minimums with the total number likely higher where it could be expected to be so. It is also common for many attacks in high volume areas to not be attributed to a specific group. This report only covers incidents attributed to a specific group. The original source data for all incidents shown here is located in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) Incident Component.
