Terrorism has been a salient topic since the 9/11 terrorist attack on New York City’s World Trade Center. This terrorist act has altered the security landscape and prompted governments to increase their efforts in tackling the threat of global terrorism. Acts of terrorism have since become more frequent, with the formation of certain terrorist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda. Even with heavy investments in efforts to eradicate the threat, terrorism remains prevalent, with an ever-increasing threat to our lives. As such, we turn to analyse past data on terrorism to draw insights and potentially identify patterns behind terrorist acts, so that governments can be better able to combat terrorism.
In this project, we are interested to create a visualization that helps analysts perform the following:
- point 1
- point 2
Primary data sets:

Secondary data sets:
