About Category:Terrorist incidents and related categories
The scope of this category includes pages whose subjects relate to terrorism, a contentious label. Value-laden labels—such as calling an organization and/or individual a terrorist—may express contentious opinion and are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution. Avoid myth in its informal sense, and establish the scholarly context for any formal use of the term. |
This category lists attacks by non-state-aligned groups that did or intended to create civilian casualties, in significant numbers, as opposed to hate crimes, serial killers, and other criminal activity.
All incidents should be placed in an appropriate subcategories of Category:Terrorist incidents by time and Category:Terrorist incidents by country, in addition to any other subcategory of this category that may be appropriate.
