The United States has said that terrorist activity in the world increased sharply last year with the number of attacks and dead more than tripling.
Washington said, however, it was winning the so-called global "war on terror." The US National Counterterrorism Center, said in a report there were 651 terrorist attacks across the globe last year with 1,907 people killed. This compares with 208 attacks involving 625 fatalities in 2003. A total of 6,704 people were wounded in terrorist strikes last year, up from the 3,646 the previous year.
