Article states that it was sectarian violence assosciated with a previous crime by a Christian. Does that constitute terrorism. Not really in this instance as it is a targetting of a minority because of a previous crime. If the Coptics were targetted because of their religion or targetted by a member of what is considered a terrorist organization then it is a terrorist act. So far it looks like the act of criminals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AmerCana ( talk • contribs) 13:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
However in America all the time people open fire on churches, resteraunts and other public places killing civilians and injuring others. For instance last month in Washington State four police officers were targetted by a lone gunman but that wasn't declared a terrorist incident. It appears this muslim shooter had a long list of crimes but is also connected to people in the main party in Eqypt. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/100107/world/egypt_religion_unrest —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.245.189 ( talk) 15:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Looks quite messy (and inconsistent with the annual lists) and will be even more so as the list expands during the year. the map on the 2009 page is more organized. perhaps we can get that put up with once a month> update?
I agree about the messy part. I think this list leads to more overhead as the list expands and just takes up space. 72.229.156.157 ( talk) 16:42, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
this list list is woefully un-updated. plenty of attacks listed below yet not in this count. if we add it, it ought to be regularly updated. unless someone takes responsibility to update it, it seems to just be a distraction and deceptive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lihaas ( talk • contribs)
This entry has references to counter terrorist operations and I don't think that constitutes "a terrorist attack". A terrorist attack is one initiated by the terrorists themselves; therefore that specific part should be removed while the other details stay. 72.229.156.157 ( talk) 16:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Those incidents do not appear to be terrorist but criminal actions. The one that killed was definite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AmerCana ( talk • contribs) 21:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Why is his death considered as a terrorist incident? It happened in Afghanistan, a war torn country. An explosion or a gun fire, his death should not be counted as a "terrorist incident", but as a war victim. Norum 01:39, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Despite the person dying in 2010, the incident occured in 2009. We do not add a new incident because someone dies later, otherwise we would have some incidents that occur on multiple days in the same article. O Fenian ( talk) 13:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

First of all I think it's important that all editors should read this.
This means that every incident added to the list must be backed by reliable sources that call it "terrorism". If it's not, it will be removed.
To comply with this, and to try and make the article even slightly neutral, I've changed the introduction to:
This is a timeline of incidents in 2010 that have been labelled as "terrorism" and are not believed to have been carried out by a government or its forces (see state terrorism and state-sponsored terrorism).
I've removed quite a few incidents already, but more needs to be done. ~Asarlaí 18:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
I believe you just contradicted yourself there. We can't have editors going around labelling things as "terrorism" without supporting that labelling with reliable sources. Furthermore, just because some sources label Group X as "terrorists" doesn't mean that everything Group X does counts as "terrorism". ~Asarlaí 01:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)"the rules said if the wikisite (this) mentiosn the word terrorism then it has to be cited. just because a reprot doesnt mention the word doesnt revoke its status as a terror attack".
why was the lead changed on all the terror years' lists w/o discussion and consensus?
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lihaas ( talk • contribs)
Lihaas ( talk) 05:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
So you still do not have a source that describes either the incident or the group as terrorism/terrorists? Until you do there is nothing to discuss and the incident will not be added. O Fenian ( talk) 07:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
This is becoming little more than trolling now. Unless reliable sources describe this incident as terrorism, or the perpetrators as terrorists, Wikipedia will not be doing so. 09:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
The above discussion is officially pointless due to Lihaas's inability to provide sources or listen to what other editors are saying. If the incident is added back once more without reliable sources clearly and unambiguously describing it as "terrorism" then I will be starting a request for comment on Lihaas for disruptive editing, and asking for a topic ban to be imposed. O Fenian ( talk) 09:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Lihaas, could you summarize for me, why you think the current criteria for inclusion shouldn't stand? I don't think there's much question that, under the current criteria, this incident should not be included based on the sources we've seen on it thus far. Best, Ray Talk 03:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Jpost is not a RS in this matter since its an Israeli paper.
What? Israeli media is perfectly reliable. If Al Jazeera is the standard for Middle East media, virtually all Israeli papers easily qualify as an RS. Jpost has relationships with the Wall Street Journal FYI. Wikifan12345 ( talk) 03:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Couple of changes, changed flag to UK to conform with the previous entries in the article. (Besides, NI is still part of the UK) Also changed the injured figure to 1, as one man was blasted off his feet and taken to hospital for shock, although it was minor. Feel free to dispute, just put your reasons here to avoid misunderstanding. :) -- Old Marcus ( talk) 03:27, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Why have some incidents been removed, such as the man who was shot by IRA members, and if I remember correctly, was labeled as terrorism? Seems someone has been a bit over-zealous in the cleanup of this article... -- 93.96.175.64 ( talk) 16:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Lihaas, nothing in the sources provided described the incident as a terrorist attack. Under current criteria, you need such a source before reverting me. I will address also what I view as the more general case, under other conceivable criteria which regard terrorism as a well-defined phenomenon of violence against civilian targets undertaken for the purpose of instilling fear in furtherance of a political objective: this is a list of terrorist incidents, not a list of incidents caused by terrorist groups. The distinction is not a subtle one: many terrorist groups also engaged in acts of more-or-less legitimate warfare. In this case, we have an attack without too many details on the militarized internal security force of the Iranian regime, which does not fall into the ambit of traditional conceptions of terrorism. Best, Ray Talk 04:12, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
"April 23 11 16 Pakistan Dattakhel, North Waziristan, Pakistan Taliban militants ambushed a military convoy of Pakistani soldiers, as it was carrying out a routine movement in the tribal region of North Waziristan. In a seperate incident, within the same region, Taliban militants killed four people who they had accused of spying for the U.S".
Is it a terrorist attack?In the north-west Pakistan as the war continues, and it was a usual military clash.

In this case, you can add to the terrorist incidents - regular skirmishes between the army and incurgents. Terrorism has clear criteria. Show me where the ambush is called terrorist tactics. Sentinel R ( talk) 13:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
I dont agree with you. I dont think that ambush - a tactic of terrorists. Sentinel R ( talk) 12:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
As in previous articles List_of_terrorist_incidents,_2009 can we have a map of the attacks listed, or perhaps a simple quick count with a table showing how many attacks in each country. This is ideal for researchers studying the field and the instability (growing or not), this kind of statistical data is more important for quick study Lihaas ( talk) 12:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
I have once again removed this incident. The source does not speculate as to the perpetrators or the motive. If any sources do speculate please provide them, but at present it may be nothing more than a personal dispute settled with "a gelatin stick used for catching fish", which I am sure is an explosive not limited to terrorists by its very nature. O Fenian ( talk) 20:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Whether or not this is a terrorist attack has yet to be determined. I propose removal until the nature of the attempt is definitively determined. Comments? Chrisbrl88 ( talk) 23:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
The term A suicide bomber detonated is just a term used you don't need to get all technical about it, it just sounds better than blew himself up, you are the only person who has issues about it so I suggest you just deal with it. 90.208.71.150 ( talk) 20:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I updated the number of deads/injured from newer articles. But as the first link talked about 25 killed and 50 wounded (75 total), I lowered the number of wounded to 40+ to match the 75. Let me know if this was not correct. -- Andres arg ( talk) 01:02, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Considering the number of dissident/IRA attacks has been substantially on the rise this year, coupled with the large amount of info we have on their attacks before 2001, shouldn't the IRA have a dedicated 'list' article like ETA do? Just a proposal, was sure where to put this, but put it here as a lot of IRA attacks have been reported here. -- 93.96.175.64 ( talk) 10:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering, if a report/article mentions Dissident Republicans, do we automatically regard it as a terrorist attack? There is the possibility that some attacks in Northern Ireland that would be easy to label as "terrorist" at first glance may be personally motivated, feuds, attacks by individuals who may be part of, but not acting on behalf of an actual terrorist group. Alastairward ( talk) 22:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
List of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, 2010 I added this to the see also section, and put a little line at the top of the page. But other than that, should each individual attack be placed on this list? Or for the ease of space, just setttle with my insertions. 86.181.204.62 ( talk) 12:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

A list that shows the total number of dead for each month, and/or for the entire year? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Faaaaaaamn ( talk • contribs) 11:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
My understanding of the current inclusion criteria is if reliable sources do not describe the incident as terrorism then it does not go on the list, this is backed up by previous discussions and the wording in the article. Should any editor wish to change that, you are welcome to start a new discussion but until it is changed please respect consensus and policy. O Fenian ( talk) 16:22, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
As I looked at it they consider it that if the words "terrorism", "terrorists" etc. aren't used it cannot be included. But it doesn't change a fact that the incidents happened.Just a victim of a foolish political correctness. Amakthea computer ( talk)
But I looked for a while and noticed that, for example this http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=131923§ionid=351020401 which links to the Pakistan attacks on 25th June does use the word "militant " instead of "terrorists" and isn't deleted. Amakthea computer ( talk)
I think it is easy. We should to build up rules of what terrorism is, and then if the news meets those tules then it should be in the list. I personally think that it could be considered terrorism when civils victims of the attack, and not when NATO soldiers, or officials are the victims as they are belligerents in the battle. -- Andres arg ( talk) 22:14, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Is this not a terrorist incident? The police were working to stop explosives being smuggling across the border, and dissidents tried to stop them. How does this not count? I ask since it was removed and I wouldn't mind finding out why, to avoid a pointless edit war. -- Old Marcus ( talk) 13:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone have any objections to the removal of incidents from the list that are not sourced as terrorism? We seem to be making sure no new unsourced incidents are added, but there are many already in the article. O Fenian ( talk) 15:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected}} About the Westergaard incident in Denmark, January 2nd, it says:
"Westergaard and his five year old granddaughter escaped harm when they entered a panic room and called for police, who shot the man."
This is not entirely true. Westergaard went to the panic room, but without the granddaughter. She was still in the house, with the somali man, but not in the panic room. In this interview: http://jp.dk/indland/article1936828.ece (in danish)(which is about whether is was right of him to leave the 5-year old granddaughter alone) - he explains that he was on the way to the bathroom when the man enters the house. Westergaard is halfway between the panic room and the living room where the granddaughter is (with a broken leg) and he estimates that wisest thing to do is for him to escape to the panic room by himself. If he had tried to get her with him, he was afraid he would be killed in front of her. He has previously learned, he says in the interview, that terrorist in situations like these often only care for the main goal and will leave family members alone.

Per current Wikipedia policy, incidents which are declared terror by Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources, are listed as acts of terror.

Terrorism is an emotionally charged term, Wikipedia:Terrorism and its definition is broad and variable. Experts within the international community have been unable to reach a consensus on its definition. However in all cases terrorism includes acts of violence. To quote the article "An abiding characteristic is the indiscriminate use of violence against noncombatants for the purpose of gaining publicity for a group, cause, or individual." The article goes on to state that terrorist is a perjorative term, and is often used for political purposes to label the opponents of the user. To quote Huffman, author of "Inside Terrorism" and also quoted in the Wiki article on terrorism "...the decision to call someone or label some organization terrorist becomes almost unavoidably subjective, depending largely on whether one sympathizes with or opposes the person/group/cause concerned. If one identifies with the victim of the violence, for example, then the act is terrorism. If, however, one identifies with the perpetrator, the violent act is regarded in a more sympathetic, if not positive (or, at the worst, an ambivalent) light; and it is not terrorism."
Whatever else can be said about Wikileaks, there is no violence involved on its part. There have been allegations that others could use the released information to target individuals, but even if this were true, it would not make the release itself an act of terror. Given the very loose and ill defined nature of the term terrorism and its application, and given the fact that the Wikileaks case is highly politically charged, it is unsurprising that some sources have labeled it terrorism. However this does not make it so. Stretching the definition of terrorism as it is operating in this article to include the Wikileaks release would invite the inclusion of all kinds of actions which someone somewhere out in the world has labeled "terrorism" for political or other reasons. At a minimum, this entry should be removed until the current controversy has passed, it's full impact can be objectively assessed and a reasonable assessment of its inclusion made. To do otherwise is to violate the Wikipedia's neutrality requirement. 99.234.246.223 ( talk) 17:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I think it is completely ridicolous to consider it a terrorist incident. They added it because the interior ministry said it had "terrorist characteristics" as of the source (which doesn't mean it was terrorist attack neither).

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.

Article states that it was sectarian violence assosciated with a previous crime by a Christian. Does that constitute terrorism. Not really in this instance as it is a targetting of a minority because of a previous crime. If the Coptics were targetted because of their religion or targetted by a member of what is considered a terrorist organization then it is a terrorist act. So far it looks like the act of criminals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AmerCana ( talk • contribs) 13:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
However in America all the time people open fire on churches, resteraunts and other public places killing civilians and injuring others. For instance last month in Washington State four police officers were targetted by a lone gunman but that wasn't declared a terrorist incident. It appears this muslim shooter had a long list of crimes but is also connected to people in the main party in Eqypt. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/100107/world/egypt_religion_unrest —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.245.189 ( talk) 15:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Looks quite messy (and inconsistent with the annual lists) and will be even more so as the list expands during the year. the map on the 2009 page is more organized. perhaps we can get that put up with once a month> update?
I agree about the messy part. I think this list leads to more overhead as the list expands and just takes up space. 72.229.156.157 ( talk) 16:42, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
this list list is woefully un-updated. plenty of attacks listed below yet not in this count. if we add it, it ought to be regularly updated. unless someone takes responsibility to update it, it seems to just be a distraction and deceptive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lihaas ( talk • contribs)
This entry has references to counter terrorist operations and I don't think that constitutes "a terrorist attack". A terrorist attack is one initiated by the terrorists themselves; therefore that specific part should be removed while the other details stay. 72.229.156.157 ( talk) 16:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Those incidents do not appear to be terrorist but criminal actions. The one that killed was definite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AmerCana ( talk • contribs) 21:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Why is his death considered as a terrorist incident? It happened in Afghanistan, a war torn country. An explosion or a gun fire, his death should not be counted as a "terrorist incident", but as a war victim. Norum 01:39, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

First of all I think it's important that all editors should read this.
This means that every incident added to the list must be backed by reliable sources that call it "terrorism". If it's not, it will be removed.
To comply with this, and to try and make the article even slightly neutral, I've changed the introduction to:
This is a timeline of incidents in 2010 that have been labelled as "terrorism" and are not believed to have been carried out by a government or its forces (see state terrorism and state-sponsored terrorism).
I've removed quite a few incidents already, but more needs to be done. ~Asarlaí 18:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
I believe you just contradicted yourself there. We can't have editors going around labelling things as "terrorism" without supporting that labelling with reliable sources. Furthermore, just because some sources label Group X as "terrorists" doesn't mean that everything Group X does counts as "terrorism". ~Asarlaí 01:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)"the rules said if the wikisite (this) mentiosn the word terrorism then it has to be cited. just because a reprot doesnt mention the word doesnt revoke its status as a terror attack".
why was the lead changed on all the terror years' lists w/o discussion and consensus?
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lihaas ( talk • contribs)
Lihaas ( talk) 05:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
So you still do not have a source that describes either the incident or the group as terrorism/terrorists? Until you do there is nothing to discuss and the incident will not be added. O Fenian ( talk) 07:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
This is becoming little more than trolling now. Unless reliable sources describe this incident as terrorism, or the perpetrators as terrorists, Wikipedia will not be doing so. 09:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
The above discussion is officially pointless due to Lihaas's inability to provide sources or listen to what other editors are saying. If the incident is added back once more without reliable sources clearly and unambiguously describing it as "terrorism" then I will be starting a request for comment on Lihaas for disruptive editing, and asking for a topic ban to be imposed. O Fenian ( talk) 09:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Lihaas, could you summarize for me, why you think the current criteria for inclusion shouldn't stand? I don't think there's much question that, under the current criteria, this incident should not be included based on the sources we've seen on it thus far. Best, Ray Talk 03:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Couple of changes, changed flag to UK to conform with the previous entries in the article.

Why have some incidents been removed, such as the man who was shot by IRA members, and if I remember correctly, was labeled as terrorism? Seems someone has been a bit over-zealous in the cleanup of this article... -- 93.96.175.64 ( talk) 16:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Lihaas, nothing in the sources provided described the incident as a terrorist attack. Under current criteria, you need such a source before reverting me. I will address also what I view as the more general case, under other conceivable criteria which regard terrorism as a well-defined phenomenon of violence against civilian targets undertaken for the purpose of instilling fear in furtherance of a political objective: this is a list of terrorist incidents, not a list of incidents caused by terrorist groups. The distinction is not a subtle one: many terrorist groups also engaged in acts of more-or-less legitimate warfare. In this case, we have an attack without too many details on the militarized internal security force of the Iranian regime, which does not fall into the ambit of traditional conceptions of terrorism. Best, Ray Talk 04:12, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
"April 23 11 16 Pakistan Dattakhel, North Waziristan, Pakistan Taliban militants ambushed a military convoy of Pakistani soldiers, as it was carrying out a routine movement in the tribal region of North Waziristan. In a seperate incident, within the same region, Taliban militants killed four people who they had accused of spying for the U.S".
Is it a terrorist attack?In the north-west Pakistan as the war continues, and it was a usual military clash.

As in previous articles List_of_terrorist_incidents,_2009 can we have a map of the attacks listed, or perhaps a simple quick count with a table showing how many attacks in each country. This is ideal for researchers studying the field and the instability (growing or not), this kind of statistical data is more important for quick study Lihaas ( talk) 12:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
I have once again removed this incident. The source does not speculate as to the perpetrators or the motive. If any sources do speculate please provide them, but at present it may be nothing more than a personal dispute settled with "a gelatin stick used for catching fish", which I am sure is an explosive not limited to terrorists by its very nature. O Fenian ( talk) 20:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Whether or not this is a terrorist attack has yet to be determined. I propose removal until the nature of the attempt is definitively determined. Comments? Chrisbrl88 ( talk) 23:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
The term A suicide bomber detonated is just a term used you don't need to get all technical about it, it just sounds better than blew himself up, you are the only person who has issues about it so I suggest you just deal with it. 90.208.71.150 ( talk) 20:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I updated the number of deads/injured from newer articles. But as the first link talked about 25 killed and 50 wounded (75 total), I lowered the number of wounded to 40+ to match the 75. Let me know if this was not correct. -- Andres arg ( talk) 01:02, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Considering the number of dissident/IRA attacks has been substantially on the rise this year, coupled with the large amount of info we have on their attacks before 2001, shouldn't the IRA have a dedicated 'list' article like ETA do? Just a proposal, was sure where to put this, but put it here as a lot of IRA attacks have been reported here. -- 93.96.175.64 ( talk) 10:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering, if a report/article mentions Dissident Republicans, do we automatically regard it as a terrorist attack? There is the possibility that some attacks in Northern Ireland that would be easy to label as "terrorist" at first glance may be personally motivated, feuds, attacks by individuals who may be part of, but not acting on behalf of an actual terrorist group. Alastairward ( talk) 22:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
List of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, 2010 I added this to the see also section, and put a little line at the top of the page.

My understanding of the current inclusion criteria is if reliable sources do not describe the incident as terrorism then it does not go on the list, this is backed up by previous discussions and the wording in the article. Should any editor wish to change that, you are welcome to start a new discussion but until it is changed please respect consensus and policy. O Fenian ( talk) 16:22, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
As I looked at it they consider it that if the words "terrorism", "terrorists" etc. aren't used it cannot be included. But it doesn't change a fact that the incidents happened.Just a victim of a foolish political correctness. Amakthea computer ( talk)
But I looked for a while and noticed that, for example this http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=131923§ionid=351020401 which links to the Pakistan attacks on 25th June does use the word "militant " instead of "terrorists" and isn't deleted. Amakthea computer ( talk)
I think it is easy. We should to build up rules of what terrorism is, and then if the news meets those tules then it should be in the list. I personally think that it could be considered terrorism when civils victims of the attack, and not when NATO soldiers, or officials are the victims as they are belligerents in the battle. -- Andres arg ( talk) 22:14, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Is this not a terrorist incident? The police were working to stop explosives being smuggling across the border, and dissidents tried to stop them. How does this not count? I ask since it was removed and I wouldn't mind finding out why, to avoid a pointless edit war. -- Old Marcus ( talk) 13:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone have any objections to the removal of incidents from the list that are not sourced as terrorism? We seem to be making sure no new unsourced incidents are added, but there are many already in the article. O Fenian ( talk) 15:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it because the person was white and not a Muslim? You're a bigot. Terrorism is terrorism no matter who does it. What Timothy McVeigh did was terrorism. What the Austin plane guy did was terrorism, too. B-Machine ( talk) 14:29, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I apologize for my comment. I'm sorry. I overreacted. B-Machine ( talk) 19:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

If people insist on changing it, please go here, List of terrorist incidents, and change every instance of either the Palestinian flag or the Israeli flag being used. Otherwise it will never be NPOV. -- Al™ 08:07, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
I've read various Danish sources, and some info presently in the article seems incorrect. Quote:
Most sources still only say it may be terror related.
Sources suggest it went of there by mistake - so he didn't try.
The latest suggestion is that the target may have been Jyllandsposten's offices near Århus (i.e., not in Copenhagen). -- Nø ( talk) 09:10, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

The Real Irish Republican Army is a designated terrorist organisation in the US and the UK. If they claim responsibiity for a bombing, is it really necessary to find a citation calling it terrorism? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 22:05, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected}} About the Westergaard incident in Denmark, January 2nd, it says:
"Westergaard and his five year old granddaughter escaped harm when they entered a panic room and called for police, who shot the man."
This is not entirely true. Westergaard went to the panic room, but without the granddaughter. She was still in the house, with the somali man, but not in the panic room. In this interview: http://jp.dk/indland/article1936828.ece (in danish)(which is about whether is was right of him to leave the 5-year old granddaughter alone) - he explains that he was on the way to the bathroom when the man enters the house. Westergaard is halfway between the panic room and the living room where the granddaughter is (with a broken leg) and he estimates that wisest thing to do is for him to escape to the panic room by himself. If he had tried to get her with him, he was afraid he would be killed in front of her. He has previously learned, he says in the interview, that terrorist in situations like these often only care for the main goal and will leave family members alone.

{{edit semi-protected}} On the 12 December 2010 a live bomb was found under a Range Rover parked at Airside Retail Park, Swords in County Dublin.

The Park into which the bomber of the Septeber 10th attack fled is erroneously referred to as "H.C. Ørstedsparken" by many Copenhageners. However, the correct name is just Ørstedsparken sice it is named after both H.C. Ørsted, the discoverer of electromagnetism, and his brother A.S. Ørsted, a Prime Minister. [17].

Three men arrested in Denmark on Wednesday on suspicion of planning to attack a newspaper that had published satirical cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad appeared in court on terrorism and weapons charges in Copenhagen on Thursday, and a fourth was set to appear in Sweden. All four suspects have Middle-Eastern or North African backgrounds. In addition to the arrests in Copenhagen, Swedish officials arrested a fifth suspect in Stockholm at the same time. [1] One of the suspects is Munir Awad [2], the son-in-law to Helena Benaouda [3] , the head of the Swedish muslim society, Svenska Muslimers Råd. Munir Awad have previosly been arrested in Pakistan on suspicions of terrorist activities together with his wife, child and another terrorist, Mehdi Ghezali, a former Guantanamo prisoner. 81.227.230.210 ( talk) 13:36, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
References
Per current Wikipedia policy, incidents which are declared terror by Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources, are listed as acts of terror. I have provided several references of foreign policy officials, wire service articles, and radio content stating that these releases were an act of terror. Trelane ( talk) 04:36, 8 January 2011
Terrorism is an emotionally charged term, Wikipedia:Terrorism and its definition is broad and variable. Experts within the international community have been unable to reach a consensus on its definition. However in all cases terrorism includes acts of violence. To quote the article "An abiding characteristic is the indiscriminate use of violence against noncombatants for the purpose of gaining publicity for a group, cause, or individual." The article goes on to state that terrorist is a perjorative term, and is often used for political purposes to label the opponents of the user. To quote Huffman, author of "Inside Terrorism" and also quoted in the Wiki article on terrorism "...the decision to call someone or label some organization terrorist becomes almost unavoidably subjective, depending largely on whether one sympathizes with or opposes the person/group/cause concerned. If one identifies with the victim of the violence, for example, then the act is terrorism. If, however, one identifies with the perpetrator, the violent act is regarded in a more sympathetic, if not positive (or, at the worst, an ambivalent) light; and it is not terrorism."
Whatever else can be said about Wikileaks, there is no violence involved on its part. There have been allegations that others could use the released information to target individuals, but even if this were true, it would not make the release itself an act of terror. Given the very loose and ill defined nature of the term terrorism and its application, and given the fact that the Wikileaks case is highly politically charged, it is unsurprising that some sources have labeled it terrorism. However this does not make it so. Stretching the definition of terrorism as it is operating in this article to include the Wikileaks release would invite the inclusion of all kinds of actions which someone somewhere out in the world has labeled "terrorism" for political or other reasons. At a minimum, this entry should be removed until the current controversy has passed, it's full impact can be objectively assessed and a reasonable assessment of its inclusion made. To do otherwise is to violate the Wikipedia's neutrality requirement. 99.234.246.223 ( talk) 17:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
In this edit an editor removes a whole bunch of incidents with the edit summary "Removed incidents unsourced as terrorism". That edit seems dubious to me. __ meco ( talk) 19:59, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I think it is completely ridicolous to consider it a terrorist incident. They added it because the interior ministry said it had "terrorist characteristics" as of the source (which doesn't mean it was terrorist attack neither). I would like to know if anyone believes it should stay, because I think we should remove it.-- Andres arg ( talk) 08:13, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
I removed it as nobody said something to let it stay.-- Andres arg ( talk) 06:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
