There has been a period of increased Islamist terrorist activity in Europe since 2014.[2][3][4][5][6] It is often seen as part of the spillover of the Syrian Civil War and linked to the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It has also been linked to the European migrant crisis.[6][7]

Eight attacks occurred in France during the eighteen months between January 2015 and July 2016,[5] including the January 2015 Île-de-France attacks (which killed 17 people), the November 2015 Paris attacks (which killed 130), and the July 2016 Nice truck attack (which killed 86). Other attacks in Europe include the March 2016 Brussels suicide bombings (which killed 32), the December 2016 Berlin Christmas market attack (which killed 12), the April 2017 Saint Petersburg Metro bombing (which killed 15), the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing (which killed 22), the June 2017 London attack (which killed 7), and the May 2014 Jewish Museum of Belgium shooting (which killed four).[8]. One of the most targeted cities in Europe is Istanbul, where took place the January 2016 Istanbul bombing (which killed 13), the June 2016 Atatürk Airport attack (which killed 45) and the January 2017 Istanbul nightclub shooting (which killed 39).

ISIL had reportedly called on its fighters to carry out a coordinated wave of attacks in Europe.[9]

The majority of the attacks have taken place against countries participating in the military intervention against ISIL as part of Operation Inherent Resolve; for instance France with Opération Chammal, Germany with Operation Counter Daesh and Belgium which is also a participant. Russia, who have a separate campaign and are allied with the Syrian government, have also been targeted. Many attacks are believed to be motivated partly by retaliation for this military intervention against ISIL.[10] However, even non-combatants such as Sweden have been attacked. While the security forces have been targeted by Islamist militants, the overwhelming majority of the deaths; over 300 to date; have come from indiscriminate attacks against civilians in urban areas. The majority of the victims are European civilians, but several civilians from outside Europe have also been killed. Some of the attacks have been carried out by lone wolf Salafist jihadists, not officially part of ISIL. The increasing frequency of attacks and plots thwarted have led to ongoing domestic military deployments involving thousands of soldiers, including Opération Sentinelle in France and Operation Temperer in the United Kingdom.

Background

Main articles: Terrorism in Europe and Spillover of the Syrian Civil War
See also: Soviet–Afghan War and 2003 invasion of Iraq

The origins of the Islamist conflicts can be traced back to 1979 when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan which they installed a pro-Soviet regime there. In order to counter the Afghan communists, the United States, the United Kingdom and West Germany armed the Mujahideen Afghan Arabs to resist the Soviets. By the time the Soviet troops withdrew by 1989, this has led to the creation of al-Qaeda, founded by Osama bin Laden.

The rise in Islamist terrorism in Europe is often seen as part of the spillover of the Syrian Civil War and linked to the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It has also been linked to the rise of radical Islam among an unchecked and ever increasing number of Muslims in Europe, and to the European migrant crisis.[6][7]
