Terrorist attacks are quietly declining around the world (By Adam Taylor, W Post)
The university’s Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) program found there were 10,900 terrorist attacks around the world last year, which killed a total of 26,400 people, including perpetrators. That was a drop from 2016, which was in turn a drop from 2015. Right now, the number of terrorist attacks and deaths from terrorism appears to have peaked in 2014, when there were nearly 17,000 attacks and more than 45,000 victims.
What explains the downward trend? In Western Europe, where the number of attacks increased slightly in 2017 — but the number of victims dropped by 65 percent — it may be matters of policing and counterintelligence. British prime minister Theresa May said Tuesday that the country had foiled 13 Islamist terror plots and four far-right plots since March 2017, when last year’s attack near the Houses of Parliament occurred.
