1. does that first number include all terrorist groups

like the christian liberation front and the irish republican army, or just the muslim ones?

[Brotherjohn]

2. It's from the State Dept's figures on worldwide terrorism, so I believe...

... it's ALL terrorist acts.

4. As defined in Code of Federal Regs, Title 22, Section 2656f:

"the term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents"
