\nGeneral Observations of Worldwide Incidents of Terror<\/font> <\/p>\n

Approximately 14,000 terrorist attacks occurred in various countries during 2006,
\nresulting in over 20,000 deaths. As compared to 2005, terrorist incidents in 2006 rose
\nby 3,000, a 25 percent increase, while deaths rose by 5,800, a 40 percent increase. As
\nwas the case in 2005, by far the largest number of reported terrorist incidents and
\nrelated deaths during 2006 occurred in the Near East and South Asia. These two
\nregions also were the locations for 90 percent of the nearly 300 high-casualty attacks
\nthat killed 10 or more people\u00e2\u20ac\u201donly five high-casualty attacks occurred in Europe-
\nEurasia, East Asia-Pacific, and the Western Hemisphere. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Of the 14,000 reported attacks, 45 percent\u00e2\u20ac\u201dabout 6600\u00e2\u20ac\u201doccurred in Iraq where
\napproximately 13,000 fatalities\u00e2\u20ac\u201d65 percent of the worldwide total\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwere reported
\nfor 2006.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Violence against noncombatants in East and sub-Saharan Africa, particularly related
\nto attacks associated with turmoil in or near Sudan and Nigeria, rose 64 percent in
\n2006, rising to 422 from the approximately 256 attacks reported for 2005.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The approximately 750 attacks in Afghanistan during 2006 are 50 percent more than
\nthe nearly 500 attacks reported for 2005 as fighting intensified during the past year.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The number of reported incidents in 2006 fell for Europe and Eurasia by 15 percent
\nfrom those in 2005, for South Asia, by 10 percent, and for the Western Hemisphere,
\nby 5 percent. No high-casualty attacks occurred in Western Europe, and only one
\noccurred in Southeast Asia, in the southern Philippines. In Indonesia, there were no
\nhigh-casualty attacks and 95 percent fewer victims of terror in 2006, as compared
\nwith 2005, which is likely attributable to a more robust regional counterterrorism
\neffort. <\/p>\n

The number injured during terrorist incidents rose substantially in 2006, as compared
\nwith the previous year, by 54 percent, with most of the rise stemming from a doubling of
\nthe reported number of injuries in Iraq since 2005. Although kidnappings in Iraq tripled
\nin 2006, kidnappings overall declined by more than 50 percent in 2006 because of a
\nsteep drop of approximately 22,000 kidnappings in Nepal where peace discussions
\nduring the year apparently curtailed hostage taking.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
