Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Using a database of every terrorist/insurgent event in the Diyala province of Iraq, this paper seeks to explain the trends in the frequency, type and targeting strategies of terrorist acts. By applying a rational choice model to the data, we are able to show that terrorists are both rational actors, and that they are encouraged or deterred by the success and failure of prior events. The effectiveness of counter-terrorism and democraticizing strategies are explored, as well as some findings on the sectarian fighting between Sunni and Shia'a groups.
