I'm looking for a newsfeed/corpus of news articles about terrorist
events. I will be using it for my PhD which concerns the automatic
creation of template structures for Information Extraction. The corpus
has to be in English, at least 100,000 words in total, and hopefully it
will be free (as always), although I am also interested to know about
any others.

It should be similar to the MUC-4 Latin American Terrorist Event
corpus. The problem with MUC-4 is that (from what I have seen) the texts
were all in upper case. I need a corpus with capital letters only given
in the correct places - beginning of sentences, proper nouns, etc.

Thanks in advance for any replies. I will send a summary around if I
receive a significant number of responses.
