This directory contains data, code and charts behind the story [The Rise Of Religiously Inspired Terrorism In France](http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-rise-of-religiously-inspired-terrorism-in-france/).
|
|
|
|
The data source is the [Global Terrorism Database](http://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/) (GTD). Raw data files from the GTD were retrieved on November 13, 2015; however, the raw data can not be made public. The data is freely available at the GTD [website](http://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/). Please see the GTD codebook -- the file `GTD_Codebook_2015Final.pdf` -- for more information.

Note: incident-level data for the year 1993 does not exist in the GTD database. However, in appendenix II of the codebook, GTD provides country-level summary statistics for that year; that data is included in the file `country_stats_1993_appendix2.csv`.
