OK, reader TM Lutas was kind enough to use his mad OCR skillZ to provide a text version of the NCTC doc. I ran it through a fast parsing, and pulled the # of incidents by country out.<\/p>\n
Not much changed from the limited sample I did earlier.<\/p>\n
|Iraq | 30.8%|
\n|Afghanistan | 2.8%|
\n|subtotal =| 33.6%|

\nIf we’re asking ourselves if terrorism is a worldwide or localized phenomenon, this certainly suggests that it’s highly localized. Two countries that are being pacified post-invasion; one country in a territorial\/religious dispute with a neighbor; and Israel\/Palestine which is also in a kind of territorial dispute.<\/p>\n
The interesting note would be to localize the attacks within India and come to a conclusion about how concerned all the folks doing offshoring ought to be. Amusingly, my wife was v. upset when I got invited to go to Iraq last year; but I don’t doubt that she would have let me go to India without a thought.<\/p>\n
Two things to follow up with; I’ll add casualties and am probably going to do a piece on the role of attention and perception in evaluating these numbers.<\/p>\n
