" U.S. raises figures for 2003 terrorist attacks
'Significant attacks' at 21-year high, revised data show

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. government restated its 2003 accounting of terrorist attacks Tuesday, reporting a sharp increase in the number of significant attacks and more than doubling its initial count of those killed.

The State Department's annual Patterns of Global Terrorism report now counts 208 terrorist attacks as having occurred in 2003, with 625 dead. When the report was released in April, it counted 307 deaths in a total of 190 terror attacks."

on edit: These doubletalking S.O.B.'s.... Is it better to die in a "non-significant" terrorist attack?? Mr. Powell answer that question.
