Incidents from Jul. to 5 Dec. 2014

The following charts show terrorist and rebel incidents involving vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED) by the incident location tracked by IntelCenter in the ICD Incident Component from Jul. to 5 Dec. 2014 as of 5 Dec. 2014.

During the period there were 369 terrorist and rebel incidents involving VBIEDs. The highest number of incidents in an identified location occurred on the Road at 19% (70). Checkpoint came in second at 15% (55) with Military Facilitiy coming in a distant third at 5% (18). Government Facility followed closely behind in fourth at 4% (16). Market came in fifth at 3% (12). In 23% (86) of the incidents, the location was Non-Specific.

VBIED attacks on the road and checkpoints are expected to remain at the top of the list in 2014 with military and government facilities, markets, restaurants, police facilities, places of worship, convoys and airports as the next signficant cluster of common locations.

Methodology Note:
VBIED attacks involving multiple VBIEDs were counted as one incident. 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.

The IntelCenter Database (ICD) allows users to easily create charts tracking tactics and targeting along with many other metrics related to terrorist and rebel groups. As of 5 Dec. 2014, the ICD has detailed records on more than 126,000 incidents. IntelCenter also provides analytical support services on terrorist and rebel tactics and targeting.
