GTD:全球恐怖主义研究数据库（Global Terrorism Database）是一个开放源代码的数据库网站，这里记录了从1970年到2013年世界各地的恐怖事件信息，并且不断的更新各种恐怖事件，维护和平，人人有责。

在这个世界上可能没有比恐怖主义更令人痛恨的，但也可能没有比恐怖主义更令人困惑的事物了。从世界范围来看，在过去十年中，2006-2008年是世界恐怖活动的一个高峰。自2008年以来，世界恐怖主义出现缓和迹象，有关热点地区和国家的恐怖活动，在活动数量和人员伤亡方面都有所下降，但南亚、尤其是巴基斯坦的恐怖活动有恶化趋势。

通过这个数据库你可以了解到世界各地所发生的事件，和平是人们追求的生活目标，保护世界和平就需要从身边做起，发扬正能量，维护社会的和平安定人人有责。

The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) is an open-source database including information on terrorist events around the world from 1970 through 2013 (with additional annual updates planned for the future). Unlike many other event databases, the GTD includes systematic data on domestic as well as transnational and international terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now includes more than 125,000 cases. For each GTD incident, information is available on the date and location of the incident, the weapons used and nature of the target, the number of casualties, and--when identifiable--the group or individual responsible.

Statistical information contained in the Global Terrorism Database is based on reports from a variety of open media sources. Information is not added to the GTD unless and until we have determined the sources are credible. Users should not infer any additional actions or results beyond what is presented in a GTD entry and specifically, users should not infer an individual associated with a particular incident was tried and convicted of terrorism or any other criminal offense. If new documentation about an event becomes available, an entry may be modified, as necessary and appropriate.

The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) makes the GTD available via this online interface in an effort to increase understanding of terrorist violence so that it can be more readily studied and defeated.
