MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base - Update Aug 2005

http://www.tkb.org
"TKB has created a new System Overview Video. The updated video provides an introduction to the multiple tools, datasets, and terrorism analyses available within the MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base. The TKB video is available here. http://www.tkb.org/tkb.html

TKB analysts have reviewed all historical Patterns of Global Terrorism reports going back to 1980, as well as the most recent version released in April 2005. Country-specific summaries can be found on TKB?s country-overview pages. A full list of the country profiles is available through the Knowledge Base Directory > Countries/Areas. http://www.tkb.org/Category.jsp?catID=9891

TKB?s terrorism-indictment pages have been updated with additional statistical data and background documents. A full list of TKB?s terrorism-indictment profiles is available through the Knowledge Base Directory > Cases. http://www.tkb.org/Category.jsp?catID=9872

TKB has improved the granularity of its incident-data analysis. Using the Incident Analysis Wizard http://www.tkb.org/ChartModule.jsp
and Knowledge Base Directory > Incidents, http://www.tkb.org/Category.jsp?catID=327 users can now analyze the incident outcomes by an expanded list of injury and fatality breakdowns.
