TE-SAT 2014: EU terrorism situation and trend report 2014

Acts of terrorism in 2013 caused the death of seven people in the European Union. This, along with the sustained number of Europeans taken hostage by groups or individuals linked to religiously inspired terrorism, demonstrates the continuing terrorist threat posed to the security of citizens and interests of the European Union.

The main figures in the EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report (TE-SAT) 2014 are:

+ 7 people died as a result of terrorist attacks in the EU
+ 152 terrorist attacks were carried out in EU Member States
+ 535 individuals were arrested in the EU for terrorism-related offences
+ Court proceedings for terrorism charges were concluded in relation to 313 individuals.

The TE-SAT 2014 is the result of excellent collaboration between Europol and EU Member States. This public document, published annually, presents facts and figures on terrorism in the European Union for the benefit of law enforcement officials, policy makers and the general public, and also seeks to identify developing trends in terrorism.
