# Terrorism Sample

Terrorism hazards cover attacks on civilian targets by non-state actors. The distinction from a combat hazard is the target: attacks against military or state targets are classified as `COMBAT`, attacks against civilian targets as `TERRORISM`.

The sample below is a `BOMBING` — bombings near a hotel in Damascus, Syria, corroborated across 18 articles.

These hazards are returned by the [`/osint-hazards-query`](/osint-hazards/requesting-osint-hazards.md) endpoint, which requires a specific role on your credentials.

**Sub-types** (`hazard_sub_type`): `BOMBING`, `SUICIDE_BOMBING`, `IED`, `VEHICLE_RAMMING`, `MASS_SHOOTING`, `KNIFE_ATTACK`, `HOSTAGE`, `ASSASSINATION`, `ARSON`, **`OTHER`** (default)

## Type-Specific Properties

**Incident properties specific to terrorism:**

* `deaths` — fatalities reported
* `injuries` — injuries reported
* `civilian_injuries` — civilian injuries specifically

The standard casualty rollup (`Total_Fatalities`, `Total_Wounded`, and the breakdown by affected group) is populated as it is on every OSINT hazard.

**Quantitative counters (`n2h.quantitative`):**

`deaths`, `injuries`, `civilian_injuries`.
