John Cassidy writes about a recent report on the threat of international terrorism.

The timeline list of terrorist incidents which took place in 2016, including attacks by violent non-state actors for political or unknown motives, is split up by month.

The San Bernardino terror attack that killed 14 on Wednesday was the deadliest America has seen on its own soil since Sept. 11, 2001. Here are 13 other terror attacks with connections to radical Islam that have happened in the U.S. since 9/11.

Different types of terrorism, from bioterrorism, to ecoterrorism to nuclear terrorism, have been defined by law enforcement, policy makers, academics and others.

According to the National Advisory Committee on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, there are six distinct types of terrorism.

The self-proclaimed Islamic State is a militant movement that has conquered territory in western Iraq and eastern Syria, where it has made a bid to establish a state in territories that encompass some six and a half million residents.

In the 14 years since the 9/11 attacks, the face of terrorism has changed out of recognition, CNN's Tim Lister writes.

Approximately 10 years after the 9/11 attacks, the United States faces a more diverse, yet no less formidable, terrorist threat than that of 2001. In this increasingly complex and dynamic threat environment, not only does Pakistan-based Al-Qaeda possess the ability to project itself across the globe to stage attacks against the West but so do groups based in Yemen, Somalia, and Iraq.

Terrorism is continually changing. While at the surface it remains "the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear..." it is rapidly becoming the predominant strategic tool of our adversaries. As terrorism evolves into the principal irregular warfare strategy of the 21st century, it is adapting to changes in the world socio-political environment.

9/11 remains a date which lives in infamy. The elapsing of 10 years this weekend has done nothing to diminish the event's notoriety in the eyes of the world, nor its ramifications for American foreign policy.

The history of terrorism can be traced to the 1st century BCE, although the modern history of terrorism does not begin until the French Revolution.

The history of terrorism is a history of well-known and historically significant individuals, entities, and incidents associated, whether rightly or wrongly, with terrorism. Scholars agree that terrorism is a disputed term, and very few of those labeled terrorists describe themselves as such. It is common for opponents in a violent conflict to describe the other side as terrorists or as practicing terrorism.
