In non-adjusted terms, India is the top target for terrorists, Sepia Mutiny notes:
Harper’s magazine, July 2005, reports a horrific statistic: 44% of fatal or wounding terrorist attacks last year took place in India, only 32% in Iraq. Israel isn’t even close, nor Sri Lanka. But with the prevalence of large car bombs in Iraq, that country may have a higher body count. Macabre, I know, but sometime it’s to our benefit that India’s still a handicraft country.
Keeping that in mind, six terrorists were killed in Ayodhya today after storming the infamous temple complex with assault rifles and grenades.

none of the international news outlets called it a terrorist attack (the one yesterday), for some reason they cannot use the term terrorists or terror attack.
