terrorists_911 — 9-11 terrorist network

Description

Network of the 19 hijackers of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and of other individuals associated with them, compiled by V. Krebs from public information released in newspapers after the attacks. Nodes are individuals and an undirected edge indicates a known association between two individuals (e.g. having lived or trained together, or having met or communicated). The network has 62 nodes. This version of the data was distributed by A. Clauset.

The network has the following properties:

  • (Node) id: the numerical identifier of the individual in the upstream data.
  • (Node) name: the name of the individual.
  • (Node) group: the flight the individual was aboard on September 11, 2001, for the hijackers (one value from 0 to 3 for each of the four hijacked flights), or 4 for individuals who were not aboard any of the flights. The correspondence between the values 0 to 3 and the flights is not documented in the upstream data.
