TRENDS Over the last 15 years, more than 61,000 incidents of terrorism claiming over 140,000 lives have been recorded. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there has been a nine-fold increase in the number of deaths from terrorism, rising from 3,329 in 2000 to 32,658 in 2014. From 2013 to 2014 Nigeria witnessed the largest increase in terrorist deaths ever recorded by any country, increasing by over 300 per cent to 7,512 fatalities. Boko Haram was responsible for 6,644 deaths in 2014, becoming the most deadly terrorist group in the world. ISIL was responsible for 6,073 terrorist related deaths but the group was also involved in at least 20,000 battlefield-filed deaths with other state and non-state combatants. During 2014 there was also a shift in the distribution of targets; with an 11 per cent decrease in deaths of religious figures and worshipers. This was offset by the increase in deaths of private citizens. Deaths of private citizens increased by 172 per cent, which is over double the increase in the global growth rate of deaths from terrorism. The flow of foreign fighters into Iraq and Syria continued in 2014 and 2015. Between 25,000 and 30,000 foreign fighters are estimated to have arrived in Syria and Iraq since 2011, 7,000 in the first six months of 2015. Europe comprises 21 per cent of all foreign fighters, while 50 per cent are from neighbouring MENA countries. GLOBAL TERRORISM INDEX 2015 | Trends 33
