abstract="This article illustrates the effects of terrorism on its victims. We conducted a study on a sample of 2,998 Spanish victims of terrorism (1997-2001). Victims were evaluated with the General Health Questionnaire (28-item version).Amuch higher prevalence of psychiatric symptoms (mainly anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms) among the victims than in the general population was found. This was maintained over time. There was a correlation between the degree of harm due to the attack and the severity of the psychopathology. We conclude that terrorist attacks are risk factors that will affect some of their victims for a lifetime.<p />",
