This is a timeline of incidents in 2009 that have been labelled as "]" and are not believed to have been carried out by a ] or its forces (see ] and ]).
{{Incomplete list|date=August 2008}}


== Guidelines ==
]
* To be included, entries must be ] (have a stand-alone article) and described by a consensus of ] as "terrorism".
The following is a timeline of acts and failed attempts that can be considered non-state '''] in 2009'''.
* List entries must comply with the guidelines outlined in the manual of style under ].
* Casualty figures in this list are the total casualties of the incident including immediate casualties and later casualties (such as people who succumbed to their wounds long after the attacks occurred).
* Casualties listed are the victims. Perpetrator casualties are listed separately (e.g. ''x (+y)'' indicate that ''x'' victims and ''y'' perpetrators were killed/injured).
* Casualty totals may be underestimated or unavailable due to a lack of information. A figure with a plus (+) sign indicates that at least that many people have died (e.g. 10+ indicates that at least 10 people have died)&nbsp;– the actual toll could be considerably higher. A figure with a plus (+) sign may also indicate that over that number of people are victims.
* If casualty figures are 20 or more, they will be shown in '''bold'''. In addition, figures for casualties more than 50 will also be <u>'''underlined'''</u>.
* Incidents are limited to one per location per day. If multiple attacks occur in the same place on the same day, they will be merged into a single incident.
* In addition to the guidelines above, the table also includes the following categories:
::{{legend|#E0FFFF|0 people were killed/injured by the incident.}} <!-- light blue |style="background:#E0FFFF;text-align:left" -->
::{{legend|#B6FCB6|1–19 people were killed/injured by the incident.}} <!-- light green |style="background:#b6fcb6;text-align:left" -->

Number of terrorist incidents (January–June)

This is a timeline of incidents in 2009 that have been labelled as "terrorism" and are not believed to have been carried out by a government or its forces (see state terrorism and state-sponsored terrorism).

This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. (August 2008)

Guidelines

  • To be included, entries must be notable (have a stand-alone article) and described by a consensus of reliable sources as "terrorism".
  • List entries must comply with the guidelines outlined in the manual of style under MOS:TERRORIST.
  • Casualty figures in this list are the total casualties of the incident including immediate casualties and later casualties (such as people who succumbed to their wounds long after the attacks occurred).
  • Casualties listed are the victims. Perpetrator casualties are listed separately (e.g. x (+y) indicate that x victims and y perpetrators were killed/injured).
  • Casualty totals may be underestimated or unavailable due to a lack of information. A figure with a plus (+) sign indicates that at least that many people have died (e.g. 10+ indicates that at least 10 people have died) – the actual toll could be considerably higher. A figure with a plus (+) sign may also indicate that over that number of people are victims.
  • If casualty figures are 20 or more, they will be shown in bold. In addition, figures for casualties more than 50 will also be underlined.
  • Incidents are limited to one per location per day. If multiple attacks occur in the same place on the same day, they will be merged into a single incident.
  • In addition to the guidelines above, the table also includes the following categories:
  0 people were killed/injured by the incident.
  1–19 people were killed/injured by the incident.
  20–49 people were killed/injured by the incident.
  50–99 people were killed/injured by the incident.
  100+ people were killed/injured by the incident.
