The Hunt: 2025 could see resurgence of global terrorism

This year has been a transformative one for terrorist groups, proven by the fact there have been increasingly radical background actors discovered in Europe and the United States.

In this week’s episode of “The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent JJ Green,” Hans Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, says terrorist groups have been gradually increasing their capacity to launch attacks. 

“We did see a massive spike there, partially because of the Middle East conflict, partially also because, as I always say, we decided no longer to fight terrorism there. So hence, we’re now fighting it (globally),” Schindler said.
