In 2011, the most-recent year of the Global Terrorism Index, there were 4,564 terrorist incidents, which led to 7,473 deaths. The numbers presumably take a while to compile, and last year’s numbers are still unavailable, but there’s a a constantly-updated chart of this year’s terrorist attacks here. It’s by no means exhaustive, but it’s at least a list of attacks and deaths that have definitely happened. From this past month:
- 75 dead in bombings and shootings in Iraq on the 15th
- 55 dead in an assault in Afghanistan on the 3rd
- 45 dead in a bombing in Iraq on the 1st
- 35 dead in suicide bombing in Somalia on the 14th
- 29 dead in bombings and shootings in Iraq on the 6th
- 22 dead in suicide bombings in Pakistan on the 16th
- 15 dead in suicide bombing in Syria on the 8th
- 12 dead in an ambush in Nigeria on the 5th
- 9 dead in roadside bombing in Afghanistan on the 8th
- 4 dead in suicide bombing in Mali on the 4th
- 3 dead in a bombing in Boston on the 15th
- 2 dead in a roadside bombing in Thailand on the 11th
- 2 dead in a shooting in Boston on the 18th
- 0 dead in an explosion in India on the 16th
Add that all up, and, at the very least, 308 people have died from terrorist attacks this month.
