Get in touch with us nowIn 2022 Italy suffered 12 terrorist attacks, the highest of any country in the European Union. During this year, France had the second-highest number of attacks at six, while Greece registered four terrorist attacks.
In 2021, most terrorist attacks in Europe were attributed to jihadist extremism. However, 2022 marked a significant decline in such attacks, with a noticeable shift towards left-wing and right-wing terrorism, driven by rising levels of political polarization in Europe.
Between 2007 and 2019 the number of deaths caused by terrorism worldwide declined from over 22.7 thousand to just under 25.08 thousand. From 2013 onwards, however, terrorist fatalities rose, reaching over 32.7 thousand in 2014. Although terrorist fatalities declined after 2014, they have not yet descended to pre-2013 levels.
