Locations for Terrorist Attacks
in 2015

The following charts show the number of terrorist and rebel incidents by Incident Location tracked by IntelCenter in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) Incident Component for 2015 as of 25 Jan. 2016.

During the period there were 12,873 incidents tracked by IntelCenter of which 6,353 had a classifiable location. City/Village/Town ranked the highest largely due to attacks by Islamic State (IS) and Boko Haram on entire cities, villages and towns. Rebel Position came in third due to fighting among rebel groups in Syria.

The full list of locations is available in the IntelCenter Database (ICD).

Methodology Note:
City/Village/Town reflects attacks where the entire location was under attack and not when a single attack occurs on a road inside of a city. Rebel Position reflects attacks by rebels on another rebel groups position. Incident Location reflects where the attack occurred which may or may not reflect the actual target of the attack. 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. The original source data for all incidents shown here is located in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) Incident Component.
