The "past 30 years" qualifier eliminates some very deadly years of the Troubles. Some 500 people were killed in 1972 alone, I believe. The overall death toll hit 1,000 in 1974.

There's also a definition issue... in that not all the deaths in N. Ireland were attributed to "terrorism."

Not that I'm saying the estimate is wrong. I think it's accurate, but it's also a very hard (and politically loaded) thing to measure.

Re: 5,000 dead? (none / 1)

30 years, 40 years, whatever, good enough for an op-ed.
