ICYMI: START releases Global Terrorism Overview
The new START Global Terrorism Overview details the nearly 8,500 terrorist attacks that resulted in 20,300 deaths around the world in 2019. Terrorist violence around the world dropped for the fifth straight year, heavily driven by declining attacks in Iraq, however a pair of exceptionally lethal mass killings in the United States and New Zealand led to an increase in deaths from racially and ethnically motivated terrorism.
