NOTE: Bombings, murders, etc. that take place in Iraq are not here because they are not terror attacks by direct definition. They are attacks by insurgents or freedom fighters, whichever you prefer to call them, intent upon driving the occupiers out of Iraq, a country in a state of war by virtue of having been invaded by the U.S.A. and the U.K.
