Global Terrorism Database Leaked! Reveals 2.2 Million Suspected Terrorists

A massive database of terrorists and “heightened-risk individuals and entities” containing more than 2.2 million records has reportedly leaked online. The World-Check database contains people with suspected terrorist, organized crime, money laundering, bribery, corruption links, and “other unsavory activities” Thomson Reuters says an unnamed third-party has exposed an outdated version of the database. The database has been accused of falsely designating individuals and organizations as terrorists on the list without their knowledge. The BBC’s Radio 4 first revealed the inaccurate terror designations after it gained 30 minutes of access to the database in August 2015.
