Moreno Train Bombing Network
A Madrid train bombing terrorist network (2004) dataset of 64 nodes and 243 edges, collected by KONECT. Each record contains directed edges: False, weighted: True, signed: False. This undirected network contains contacts between suspected terrorists involved in the train bombing of Madrid on March 11, 2004 as reconstructed from newspapers. A node represents a terrorist and an edge between two terrorists shows that there was a contact between the two terroists. The edge weigh. Suitable for dark network analysis, community detection.
