Attacks On Transportation Targets Like Those In Brussels Have Become Rarer

When I ran my findings by Erin Miller, program manager at the Global Terrorism Database, she confirmed that it was fair to compare transportation targets in North America and Europe this way. “The trend in attacks on transportation targets generally reflects the trend in all kinds of terrorist attacks,” she added, which she said suggested that “it’s more the result of decline of conflicts than increased security.”
