Attacks by the Taliban were deadlier than those committed by any other group in 2018, according to the Global Terrorism Index.
The 2019 Global Terrorism Index found that the militant group took significantly more lives than ISIS did last year. Although the overall number of deaths by terrorism declined in 2018, according to the report, 71 countries recorded at least one death by terrorism. Afghanistan was most affected, with more than 7,000 deaths. The index also identified a sharp rise in far-right terrorism globally, particularly in Europe and North America.
President Donald Trump called off those formal talks in early September 2019 after a Taliban-claimed attack in Kabul that killed a dozen people, including an American soldier. 'Dramatic decline' in ISIS activityThe report found ISIS to be responsible for 1,328 deaths in 2018 -- a sharp drop from the years prior. It was the first time since 2014 that ISIS was not the deadliest group, the report said.
