According to the report, there were just over 11,000 attacks around the globe, with more than 25,000 people killed in those incidents. Another 33,000-plus people were injured. The report notes that 26% of the deaths in the worldwide terror attacks were the attackers themselves.

Those figures represent significant drops from the previous year — the number of attacks was down nine percent, while the number of deaths was 13 percent lower.

Of note, the 2015 figures were also down from the year before — 2014 saw the rise of ISIS and an increasingly violent campaign led by Boko Haram in Africa.
