EUROPEAN UNION TERRORISM SITUATION AND TREND REPORT 2019

In 2018, terrorism continued to constitute a major threat to security in EU Member States. Horrific
attacks perpetrated by jihadists like those in Trèbes, Paris, Liège and Strasbourg killed a total of
thirteen people and injured many more. In addition, one terrorist attack by a right-wing extremist in Italy and numerous arrests of suspected right-wing terrorists for attack-planning across the European Union (EU) indicate that extremists of diverging orientation increasingly consider violence as a justified means of confrontation.
