Not just 3rd world countries and not just bombings. The high profile bombings/ terrorist acts in Europe are still a thing and more numerous than in US.

All the terrorist attacks in France (which is the European country with the highest number of terrorism victims) combined add 0.3-0.4 to the countries total in this chart. This shows how rare terrorism actually is in Europe.

though maybe homicides rather than fire arm deaths would be more appropriate (chart looks the same, essentially...), the effect of terrorism is equally even smaller; 

 

247 killed in 2015-2017, by far the most violent period (peak 2015, of course); that adds 0.12, to the homicide rate, in the period. There's currently a 4 point difference in homicide rates between France and the US.
