Contents
Background
Project Motivation
With this project, we hope to find out the changes in the characteristics of terrorist attacks over time. Also, we would want to verify the relationship between terrorism spread and Internet usage, to find if there is indeed a correlation between the two. By doing so, we hope to provide strategies in media operations in order to combat the threat of terrorism.
Project Objectives
The main goal of this project would be to provide an interactive online visualisation for users. In this visualisation, users will be able to:
- View the changes in terrorist attacks over time.
- Understand the methods, motive, and the impact of each terrorist attacks and how these have changed over time.
- Observe the relationship between internet usage and the change in the types and targets of terrorist attacks.
Hence, this visualisation will help security agencies and government bodies better plan strategies and policies in combatting the threat of terrorism.

Approach
To use d3.js to make an interactive application, that allows users to visualise the changes in terrorist attacks over the years. The interactive application will consist of different visualisation techniques.
The main elements of the application consist of the following:
- Terrorist groups involved
- Types of attacks
- Types of victims
- Number of victims/ causualties
- Countries in which these attacks occurred
- Frequency of attacks
- International or Domestic component
The technique that we will be using are as follows:
- Timeline
- Line Chart: Showing internet penetration globally
- Stacked Bars: Showing number of casualties globally
- Geospatial Map
- Word Cloud
- Cross Filter
