International acts of terror in 2003 were the fewest in more than 30 years I was impressed until I read these paragraphs: "The Patterns of Global Terrorism report said 190 acts of international terrorism occurred in 2003 -- a slight drop from 198 attacks the previous year and the lowest total since 1969." The figure marked a 45 percent decrease in attacks since 2001, <font color=red>but it did not include most of the attacks in Iraq, because attacks against combatants did not fit the U.S. definition of international terrorism. <font color=black> "The report counted 82 anti-U.S. attacks around the world in 2003, <font color=red>up from 77 in 2002. Thirty-five American citizens died in terrorist attacks last year.<font color=black> The highest number of attacks, 70, occurred in Asia, the report said."
