The new year is just three weeks’ old and terrorist attacks have already rocked Indonesia, Burkina Faso, Pakistan and India, not to mention those in Iraq and Afghanistan. Terrorism is no longer confined to a few countries; it is wreaking havoc across continents and has become a threat to global stability and peace. This calls for leaders across the world to put up a joint fight against terrorist groups, especially the Islamic State group.
That terrorists are launching attacks randomly indicates they are trying to not only consolidate their bases but also hit back at the anti-terrorism alliance.
