Background

This data was collected at CASOS. It is
about six major terrorist groups that
operate in the West Bank. These groups
are the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, Al
Fatah, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and
the Islamic Jihad. We gathered the 18
texts from that the networks were extracted
from LexisNexis Academia via exact matching
Boolean keyword search for each of the
groups. The media searched with LexisNexis
were The Economist, The Washington Post,
and The New York Times. The time frame of
our data set ranges from articles published
in 2000 to 2003.
