In 2012, 11,098 people were killed in terrorist attacks worldwide.2 In 2011, terrorist violence left 12,533 dead.3 Since 2008, nearly 70,000 have died as victims of terrorism, and more than twice that many have been wounded.4 To be sure, it is not the sole threat to global security, but terrorism remains among the most intransigent of such challenges, in part because of the mag. nitude of these casualty figures, but equally because of the secretive nature of its perpetrators and its consequent unpredictability. While the ideological motivations underpinning acts of terrorism are diverse, jihadists pose the most visible and most geographically extensive threat. As such, and despite the emergence and evolution of other challenges, jihadist terrorism remains a top priority of government security institutions.5
