The Terrorism Knowledge Base (TKB) was a database maintained by the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT) which provided information about terrorist groups and organizations and acts of terrorism from the 1970s onwards. It was maintained by MIPT using the RAND Corporation Terrorism Chronology 1968-1997; the RAND-MIPT Terrorism Incident database (1998-2008); the Terrorism Indictment database (University of Arkansas & University of Oklahoma); and DFI International's research on terrorist organizations. It was possible to search the database by keyword, organisation, date, type of incident and geographical region.[1] Entries included a synopsis of the attack, background information on the groups involved, information on related course cases, statistical facts and links to related headlines and in some cases full-text articles. Terrorist incidents included: hijackings, assassinations, arson, kidnapping, bombings and suicide bombings. Other features of the site included a glossary of terms and news headlines relating to recent terrorist attacks worldwide.[2]

According to Domain Tools TKB's website (www.tkb.org) was created on 3 June 2003 and registered to DFI International employee Matt Fullerton.[3]
