/*SHORT TITLE: Codebook for FATE File */ DESCRIPTION OF FATE FILE VARIABLES The FATE list describes the disposition, when known, of the perpetrators of incidents noted in the COMMON file after the incident. The disposition of non-terrorist hijackers in the SKYJACK file is not included. The FATE list includes only those incidents in which the fate of at least one of the perpetrators was other than "escaped at the scene of the incident." Fate of Terrorists: YR. Date of start of incident--year The beginning of the incident is considered to be the date at the scene of the incident in which it first became apparent to individuals other than the initiators that a terrorist event was taking place. ITERATE data sets issued prior to July 2003 are coded with two digits for years (i.e. 68=1968, 69=1969......00=2000, 01=2001). Values: 1968 1968 1969 1969 . . 2002 2002 MO. Date of start of incident--month See description for variable 1. Values: 01 January 02 February . . 12 December 99 Unknown month DAY. Date of start of incident--day See description for variable 1. 01 . . 31 99 Unknown day IN_NUM. incident code number A unique two-digit code number. This number is assigned to each discrete incident that occurs on a given day. Specific incidents may thus be accessed by calling up the first eight digits of an entry for an incident, i.e., YRMODAYIN_NUM. 00 01 . . 99 F2. First fate of terrorists Four possible fates of the terrorist perpetrators, as well as ancillary participants in the incident, may be included. Shootouts may be initiated by the perpetrators or by authorities. If the individual was killed resisting arrest, he will also be coded as dead via shootout. Codes 04 and 09 refer solely to the length of the sentence, rather than the portion served. None of these entries are subsets of previous entries. The Bangkok Solution refers to the agreement made by the 4 Black Septembrists who took over the Israeli Embassy in Bangkok on December 28, 1972, and Thai officials which allowed the terrorists safe passage from the scene in return for the release of their hostages and dropping of their other demands. This solution has subsequently been used successfully as a precedent for other negotiations.
