ACCESS THE 2005 STATE DEPARTMENT COUNTRY REPORTS ON TERRORISM


For users interested in official U.S government information on terrorism, the 2005 State Department Country Reports on Terrorism is now available on TKB.

The State Department report focuses country-by-country on developments in terrorism-related issues, and also contains specific sections on terrorist havens, state-sponsored terrorism, and the global challenge of WMD.



NEW FEATURES ON COUNTRY PROFILE PAGES

The TKB team is always looking for ways to improve our data and analysis tools and aid users in their research. In that vein, we are pleased to announce two new features recently added to our country profile pages.

Our first new feature is a direct link that gives instant access to our sophisticated GIS mapping system for every country in the TKB system. A click of the mouse is all it takes to gain access to high-tech satellite overlays, incident filters, and key infrastructure plots for every region of the globe.

Our second new feature is a series of population pyramids, which give a demographic
snapshot for each country in the world. Population demographics are useful for comparative analysis and may be a predictor of future unrest. These pyramids are a simple way to visualize this important information.

Thanks to the praise and outreach of TKB users, TKB continues to serve many government analysts, emergency responders, academicians, journalists, and other terrorism researchers. Please continue to your help us grow by spreading the word through website links, citations, blog postings, and word of mouth. Send us your comments to let us know how the TKB helps you, and remember kudos keep this system available.

Thank you for your interest in the MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base.
