- The study by the Institute for Economics and Peace shows terrorism fell significantly in the worst-affected countries — Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria — bringing down global casualty figures.
- The report went on to call 2016 a "turning point" in the fight against radical Islamist extremism.
- The "Islamic State" (IS) was the "main driver" for a rise in deaths in Europe and other developed countries. The group was linked to 75 percent of deaths from terrorism in OECD nations since 2014.
- The rise in European deaths coincides with a tactical shift towards simpler and cheaper methods of attack.
