a Designations correspond to the World Bank analytical classification for each terrorist group’s base country of operation in the<br />
year in which the use of terror ended. Current World Bank classifications have been employed for terrorist groups deemed active at<br />
the end of 2006. In 2006, the World Bank used the following thresholds for classifying national economies (in 2005 gross national<br />
income [GNI] per capita, calculated using the World Bank Atlas Method): L = low income ($875 or less); LM = lower middle income<br />
($876–$3,465); UM = upper middle income ($3,466–$10,725); and H = high income ($10,726 or more).<br />
b Designations correspond to the Freedom House classification of each terrorist group’s base country of operation in the year in<br />
which the use of terror ended. Current Freedom House classifications have been employed for terrorist groups deemed active at<br />
the end of 2006. The status designations of F (free), PF (partly free), and NF (not free) are determined by the combination of the<br />
political-rights and civil-liberties ratings for each country or territory. These categories contain numerical ratings between 1 and 7<br />
for each country or territory, with 1 representing the freest and 7 the least free. The aggregate score of 2 to 14 indicates the general<br />
state of freedom in each country or territory.<br />
c R = religious. LW = left-wing. N = nationalist. RW = right-wing.<br />
d RC = regime change. TC = territorial change. PC = policy change. E = empire. SR = social revolution. SQ = status quo.<br />
e PO = policing. S = splintering. PT = politics. V = victory. MF = military force.<br />
