Terrorism Worldwide, 2016

This third comprehensive study of international terrorist attacks covers 2016, during which the Islamic State suffered several battlefield reversals but still continued its status as the most active, well-financed and well-armed terrorist group worldwide. Regionally- and country-organized, the study covers domestic and international incidents around the world, outlining several trends. The author offers several indicators of what to watch in the coming years. The new single-year format allows readers access to the most up-to-date information on terrorism, and its geographic focus more easily facilitates regional comparisons.
