This report provides a chronological account of significant international terrorist incidents during 2004. The report warns that the methodology used to generate the list of incidents does not accurately capture the totality of terrorist incidents worldwide and could lead to anomalous and potentially inaccurate results. The report concludes that the annual changes in the number of attacks may not be the best measure of international effectiveness in preventing attacks, reducing the capacity of extremists to wage war, or preventing extremists from advancing their agenda through violence against the innocent.
