Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, indicated Wednesday that the number of attacks within the EU member states has decreased, yet terrorism still poses a real and present danger to the bloc.
In its annual European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report (TE-SAT), the Europol affirmed that 15 completed, foiled and failed terrorist attacks were recorded in the EU in 2021, a decrease from 57 attacks in 2020. It attributed this improvement to the significant drop in the number of attacks reported as left-wing terrorism.
