News articles, special reports, and legal documents related to international terrorist organizations (ITOs) as designated by the U.S. Department of State, and acts of terrorism. We primarily focus on active or recently active ITOs, as well as terrorist groups likely to be upgraded to the status of ITOs in the near future. To facilitate research, the sections are organized geographically and alphabetically, and the terrorist attacks covered are incorporated chronologically. As the section evolves, the Terrorist Index below will become a live resource measuring the level of activity of the ITOs listed.
