©Terrorists love density; they explore cities according to it. They attack the courses of daily life like subways or buses; they look for the shock-factor attacking weddings or funerals and their main targets are city elements like the police, the government, public transportation or religious institutions. Terrorism is an urban activity. By mapping all incidents in 2005 an equator of terrorism appears which also gives home to the most active terrorist groups. The events of 9/11 forever redefined the nature of terrorism risk. People and organizations in the Western World that never considered terrorism as a threat are now on guard. To hit the “right” target in the “right” city paid off and spread fear all over the western society while out of the 5.000 terrorist incidents in 2005 only a handful was actually happening in the Western World. The events of 9/11 triggered an unprecedented eruption of new terrorist groups with the Al-Qaeda Organization in the Land of the Two Rivers (an affiliate of Al-Qaeda) as most violent group in 2005 and Iraq as the most affected country. By exhibiting the world on its flag Al-Qaeda makes its ambitions clear to everybody. With bases in more than 60 countries and having attacked already 4 continents, Al-Qaeda, with all its branches, becomes the first global terrorist organization.Theo Deutinger and Beatriz Ramo are the directors of the Rotterdam based office STAR
