Database for Suicide Attacks in Iraq, 2003-2004

Compiled by Scott Helfstein and Scott Atran

We used “suicide attack” as a proxy for “terrorist attack” because suicide attacks are usually easy to identify as attacks aimed at causing terror. A drawback is that suicide attacks do not always involve the targeting of non-combatants or “innocent civilians” – categories that figure as critical elements in the PMPT and U.N. notions of what target of an attack to be to qualify as a terrorist event. Nevertheless, the law enforcement agencies of all members of “The Community of Democracies” consider suicide attack to be a clear case of terrorism.

For 2004, attacks were compiled from press reports, concentrating on Associated Press (AP) sources, and these were compared to entries in the database used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, MIPT (National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism). There were a number of discrepancies with MIPT, which also uses open press sources, and further checking of sources favors the reliability of our data over the MIPT for 2004 (the MIPT data can be found on the PMPT’s dedicated website).

An attack was deemed a suicide attack if any of the following conditions were evident from the reports:

1. An organization claimed responsibility for the attack as a “martyrdom operation.”

2. The perpetrator(s) of the attack detonated and explosive device and killed themselves in the attack.

Note: In our database for worldwide suicide attacks we occasionally consider shooting attacks to be suicide attacks if the organization sponsoring the attack specifically claims the attack as a martyrdom operation, or if there is other evidence (e.g., from police or military sources) that the attackers intended to die in the attack (such incidents occur primarily in the Kashmir and Palestine theaters). For Iraq, however, we have not come across such cases.

Suicide attacks were analyzed according to the following criteria:

1. The date an attack occurred.

2. Closest city, town or village in which the attack occurred.

3. Number of separate incidents involved in the attack (e.g., if there were explosions in three different areas of the city, then 3 incidents were counted).

4. The number of attackers involved.

5. Place of the attack (police station, checkpoint, mosque, rally, funeral, etc.).

6. “Revisit” (yes = 1, no = 0) if sources need additional checking.

7. “Separable” (yes = 1, no = 0) when the breakout between categories in (8) below are not wholly transparent from the sources.

8. Categories of persons killed in the attack (Non-US Police and Military, US Military, Non-US Civilian, US Civilian, Attackers).

9. Total number of dead in the attack.

10. Total number of wounded in the attack.

11. Whether (yes = 1) or not (no = 0) the attack was made by a group explicitly claiming a religious mission for the attack.

12. The group claiming responsibility for the attack, or to which police and military sources have attributed the attack (note: when attribution is mainly conjectural, with no supporting evidence presented, credence is not given to the attribution and no group is listed).

13. Where the information about the attack comes from (title, date, source, website).

The first suicide attack in Iraq – perhaps since the time of the Assassins in the 13th century – occurred on March 29, 2003 in Halabja (where chemical weapons had been infamously used against Kurds in the 1980s). Although the attack by the Jihadi grou Al-Ansar occurred shortly before the U.S. incursion into Iraq, it was probably aimed at Kurds for supporting the U.S. administration’s call for preparations for war. Attacks in 2003 concentrated on U.S. and coalition forces, Iraqi police forces empowered by the U.S.-led coalition, relief efforts (U.N., Red Cross), local coalition allies (Kurds), a coalition-protected hotel, and a Shi’ite mosque.

In 2004, there were 104 incidents (significantly more than MIPT). Total attackers were 121, 118 actually died in the attacks. There are 359 Non-US Pol/Mil, 35 US Mil, 559 Non-US Civ, and 12 US Civ. Total casualties = 1083. Total wounded (perhaps with some missing data) = 2171. Overall, suicide attacks in 2004 were not very effective against US soldiers; the casualty rate was low. This is so despite the fact that US military convoys were a favorite target. In contrast, attacks were very effective against Iraqi police and national guard. Police stations, checkpoints and recruiting stations were favorite targets, often yielding high casualties.

We have not yet compiled figures for 2005; however, our preliminary review suggests agreement with the recent statement of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Air Force General Richard Myers, that insurgent attacks in Iraq “are right now where they were almost a year ago” (“U.S. says insurgency undiminished in past year,” Reuters wire, April 26, 2004). Since this time last year, attacks appear increasingly aimed (and successful) at inflicting damage on the political, economic and military/police infrastructure of the coalition-backed new Iraqi government.



An attack was deemed a suicide attack if any of the following conditions were evident from the reports:

2. The perpetrator(s) of the attack detonated and explosive device and killed themselves in the attack.


3. Number of separate incidents involved in the attack (e.g., if there were explosions in three different areas of the city, then 3 incidents were counted).

7. “Separable” (yes = 1, no = 0) when the breakout between categories in (8) below are not wholly transparent from the sources.

8. Categories of persons killed in the attack (Non-US Police and Military, US Military, Non-US Civilian, US Civilian, Attackers).

11. Whether (yes = 1) or not (no = 0) the attack was made by a group explicitly claiming a religious mission for the attack.
