Ok. I just want to point out that almost all of the entries in Brumar's list go away when you include both b) and e). a) eliminates several more.

2004

I dunno if this counts. Can Americans own property in SA?

Saudi Arabia, May 1: 2004 Yanbu attack kills six Westerners and one Saudi.

2005

A quiet year. Americans died, and American property was damaged, just not at the same time.
2006

Dunno if this counts. It was near, but not at the consulate.

Pakistan, March 2: Bombing in Karachi kills four, including a U.S. diplomat.

2007

Another quiet year. Americans died, and American property was damaged, just not at the same time.

2008

So far, Americans died, and American property was damaged, just not at the same time.

Bottom line, activity might have dropped. Might not have. It certainly hasn't ceased. Our consulates and embassies are still being attacked. Tourists and others are still being killed.
