Terrorism's deadly toll in Europe
Friday's attacks in Paris are the latest of many in Europe over the years, though no attack in the region has approached the nearly 3,000 deaths associated with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the U.S. These are among the deadliest:
• Jan. 7: Twelve people are killed at the offices of Paris magazine Charlie Hebdo, which had published satirical illustrations of the prophet Mohammed. The two attackers yell in Arabic, "Allah Akbar" ("God is great"). A policewoman is killed the next day and another gunman kills four hostages at a kosher supermarket on Jan 9. The three attackers are killed in separate shootouts with police.
LATEST: Scores killed in Paris attacks
• May 24, 2014: Four are killed at the Jewish Museum in Brussels by an intruder with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle. The suspect is a former French fighter linked to the Islamic State group in Syria.
• March 2012: A gunman claiming links to al-Qaeda kills three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers in Toulouse, southern France.
• July 22, 2011: Anti-Muslim extremist Anders Behring Breivik plants a bomb in Oslo then attacks a youth camp associated with the Norwegian Labour Party on Norway's Utoya island, killing 77 people, many of them teenagers.
• July 7, 2005: 52 London commuters are killed when four al-Qaeda-inspired suicide bombers blow themselves up on three subway trains and a bus. The well-coordinated series of attacks, the worst-ever terrorism incident staged on British soil, had the city on edge and sparked attempted copy cat bombings two weeks later. Those later attacks failed, and four men were convicted as the plotters.
• March 11, 2004: Madrid suffers what Spain's interior minister calls the country's "worst-ever terrorist attack," when a series of bombs on commuter trains kill 191 people and injure more than 1,800. It is the worst terrorist attack in Europe since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988.
• November 2003: At least 27 people are killed and more than 400 injured in bombings at the British consulate and the HSBC bank headquarters in Istanbul. The previous week suicide bombers attacked two synagogues in Istanbul, killing more than 20 people.
• Dec. 21, 1988: A bomb explodes aboard Pan Am Flight 103, bound for New York from London, killing all 259 people on board and 11 people on the ground in the town of Lockerbie, Scotland. A Libyan intelligence officer was convicted in the attack.
• Aug. 15, 1998: A car bomb planted by Irish Republican Army dissidents kills 29 people in the town of Omagh, in the deadliest incident of Northern Ireland's four-decade conflict.
• July 25, 1995: A bomb at the Saint-Michel subway station in Paris kills eight people and injures some 150. It is one of a series of bombings claimed by Algeria's GIA, or Armed Islamic Group.
