Many Western European countries have been the target of ISIL-inspired terror attacks since 2014. France, Belgium and Germany were the countries, after Turkey, with the highest death tolls in 2016, largely because of the series of vehicular and explosive terror attacks in Nice, Brussels and Berlin, all of which were claimed by ISIL and its affiliates. France is the third most.
The deadliest terror attack in 2017 was an armed assault against civilians at the start of the new year at a nightclub in Istanbul, Turkey, which killed 39 civilians. The next deadliest attacks were a suicide bombing in the United Kingdom at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England that killed 23 people and injured an additional 119 and a vehicular attack in Barcelona, Spain that killed 23 people and injured 101 more. All three of these attacks were claimed by the Islamic State. The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was the deadliest terror group in 2017 in Europe; however, no attack by the group killed more than four people. The group killed 71 people in Europe, down from 268 last year. The PKK staged only one attack outside Turkey in 2017, an arson attack on a mosque in Germany. There have been a number of similar incidents in 2018, which have also resulted in no fatalities. The second deadliest group in Europe was ISIL, which committed 64 deaths in Europe, down from its peak in 2015 when 284 deaths occurred.
