HANOI, Jan 10 — Terrorist threats in South-east Asian countries declined in 2021, a Singapore think-tank said in its annual threat assessment published last week.
In Thailand in 2021, meanwhile, violent incidents connected to an insurgency in the far south were similar to those in the previous year, the researchers found. Jamaah Ansharut Daulah’s relatively stagnant activities in 2020 to 2021 and the decline of Eastern Indonesia Mujahideen’s terror activities in 2021, it said, “can be partly attributed to movement restrictions and higher costs associated with domestic travels due to the pandemic.”
The report specifically linked the Covid-19 pandemic to the drop in terror activities in Malaysia last year.
