|Rebels from ] were blamed for an attempted kidnapping in Isabela city in which 10 were killed and 13 injured, at least 3 of the dead were Marines and 5 were rebels. At least six people were killed in a first explosion near a sports field, while another explosion wounded 13 civilians near a Roman Catholic cathedral before a third bomb was detonated by soldiers. Lieutenant-General Ben Dolorfino said the attackers "were Abu Sayyaf members wearing army and police uniforms. Based on our initial assessments, these people were out to kidnap somebody and the explosions were part of the diversion, but our troops quickly responded to foil their plan." Major General, Juancho Sabban, head of the marines, said "I think (the attack) is meant to create havoc.... Definitely it falls under terrorism."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.almanar.com.lb/newssite/NewsDetails.aspx?id=133406&language=en|title=Al-ManarTV:: Militant Attacks Leave 15 Dead in Philippines 13/04/2010|publisher=Almanar.com.lb|date=|accessdate=July 2, 2010}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/04/201041354352341114.html|title=Asia-Pacific – Attack rocks south Philippines town|publisher=Al Jazeera English|date=April 13, 2010|accessdate=July 2, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=11 killed in bombing, ambush in southern Philippines – Summary|url=http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/318432,11-killed-in-bombing-ambush-in-southern-philippines--summary.html|work=Earthtimes|date=April 13, 2010|accessdate=April 13, 2010}}</ref>

This is a timeline of incidents in 2010 that have been labelled, or investigated as possible cases of "terrorism" and are not believed to have been carried out by a government or its forces (see state terrorism and state-sponsored terrorism).

List 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.
  • 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.
