Extremists killed 5042 in a month
(MENAFN- Arab News) LONDON: Jihadi attacks around the world in November killed a total of 5042 people showing extremism is 'stronger than ever' despite Al-Qaeda's declining role a new study published on Thursday said.
There were 664 attacks in 14 countries during the month according to the joint report by the BBC World Service and the International Center for the Study of Radicalization (ICSR) at King's College London.
The research found Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was responsible for around half of the violence 308 attacks responsible for 2206 deaths.
'The data makes it clear that jihadis and Al-Qaeda are no longer one and the same' the report said.
It said that 60 percent of the killing was done by groups with no formal association with Al-Qaeda pointing to 'an increasingly ambitious complex sophisticated and far-reaching movement.'
'It seems obvious that the jihadi movement... (is) stronger than ever and that countering (it) will be a generational challenge' the research said.
The worst-affected country was Iraq where deaths accounted for around a third of the monthly total followed by Nigeria Afghanistan and Syria.
The study is the first of its kind and could not be compared to previous monthly statistics.
