Editor’s note: We’ve partnered with the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism(START) to publish a series of infographics based on data from their Global Terrorism Database and related START projects. Each week we’ll release a new set of graphics that depict trends in global terrorism activity. Sign up for the War on the Rocks newsletter to make sure you don’t miss any of them!

Terrorism’s footprint is truly global. In 2013, according to data collected by START, incidences of terrorism were recorded in 94 countries around the world. But the threat is far from uniform. The map below depicts the intensity and concentration of terrorist violence in 2013. We’ll follow up on this global picture with new infographic sets each week that examine some of the most interesting current and historical trends in terrorist activity.
