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 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.
