NCTN Database
For research and informational purposes, the Nordic Counter Terrorism Network puts at the disposal of experts, researchers and all interested individuals, this database containing events related to Islamist terrorism in the Nordic countries throughout the 2020's. Entries cover a range of topics, including attempted and completed terrorist attacks, radicalization trends, arrests, prosecutions, and security assessments. The intelligence gathered by our research and monitoring activities provides a centralized repository of verified information drawn from official security service reports, Government publications, and other reliable sources that concern Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. While the primary focus of the NCTN Database is Islamist terrorism in the Nordics, incidents or trends related to Far-Right extremism may be documented where they are directly relevant to the cases, patterns, or security assessments under review. This ensures that the Database provides a comprehensive and balanced overview of significant threats.
Each event is classified per country, year and date and will include its source and eventually further materials for accuracy purpose. The NCTN Database does not report in detail on trials involving individuals charged with crimes related to Islamist terrorism until a verdict has been delivered in order to avoid speculation and ensures that all entries are based on established judicial outcomes. However, should a verdict be appealed, this piece of information will be noted as part of the case record.
| Disclaimer: The NCTN Database focuses on Islamist terrorism in the Nordic countries. To safeguard the neutrality and credibility of the Database, coverage of the ongoing Israel–Hamas conflict is therefore intentionally limited due to its highly divisive nature and the toxic dynamics it often generates. References are restricted to official security assessments particularly where they concern potential implications for the Nordic region, while broader political or military analysis is left to specialized institutions. |
