Patterns of Global Terrorism was a report published each year on or before April 30 by the United States Department of State. It has since been renamed Country Reports on Terrorism. The Secretary of State is required by Congress to produce detailed assessments about
- each foreign country in which acts of international terrorism occurred;
- the extent to which foreign countries are cooperating with the U.S. in the apprehension, conviction, and punishment of terrorists;
- the extent to which foreign countries are cooperating with the U.S. in the prevention of further acts of terrorism; and
- activities of any terrorist group known to be responsible for the kidnapping or death of an American citizen.
The exact definition of the requirements are in Title 22, Section 2656f of the United States Code.
The only complete print edition—indexed, updated, and supplemented with maps and tables, 1985-2005—was published by Berkshire Publishing Group in 2005.

—Anne Cassidy (20th century)
“As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.”
—Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)
