Over the last months I have been compiling a database about jihadist terrorist attacks in Europe, Canada and the US from 2004 to the present. This database can contribute to terrorist threat assessments by identifying trends and patterns in the way jihadist terrorists commit attacks. More specifically, it can provide fact-based analyses that can help police and emergency services decide how to prepare for terrorist incidents. I thought it could be interesting to use this database to provide some perspective with regard to Jawid S.’ knife attack at Amsterdam Central Station, so I gathered some data and drew up an Issue Brief about jihadist terrorist attacks with impact weapons. This Issue Brief will show that Jawid S.’ attack is in several respects typical of jihadist terrorist attacks with impact weapons. It is available here. Also, the ‘Media appearances’ contains two media reports about the attack with my comments.
